With 75% Syrah and 25% Grenache, here’s a lush and decadent wine loaded with dark plum, black berry, pepper, licorice and smoky cedar notes. The finish is long and evolving, starting fruity and closing on a beautiful mocha note.

Fairly weighty with dense components of dark black fruit, thin mint, cassis and garrigue spice. Black cherry and plum abound on the palate with accents of bay leaves and pepper. With low tannins and moderate acidity, this is a well balanced and robust red wine, excellent for gamy meats like lamb. Drink now.
