Blackberry, cherry, plum, raspberry, currant, vanilla, oak and hints of dried sage. Good structure and velvety tannins.

Andrew Murray, founder, grows Rhône varieties in the style of Hermitage and Côte Rôtie. A blend of 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 15% Mourvèdre. Aromas of ripe berry and floral herbs. On the palate flavors of dark berries and plums adding a dried fruit character. Fine tannins, lingering finish ending with gentle spice notes. Tasting Sample.

Fantastic blend…very fruity and bold, but very smooth on the palate. Clean finish. All of the stone fruits are present here, and in the best way possible. Highly recommended.
