Almost pure, concentrated fruitiness, with a bit of cola-y minerality. Some VA makes for a fumey, ethereal candied nose. Not overripe or heavy though, actually lithe and bright. Just a celebration of fruit--actually was shocked to see it's mostly Mourvèdre.

More fruit than I personally prefer, but a very enjoyable and unique blend overall.

This is the 2011 Playground, a field blend of Mourvedre, Grenache, Syrah, Counoise, Cindault and Rousanne, nicely integrated. Maybe my favorite red blend at the moment.
