Some fruit and vanilla. Kind of flabby and one note.

Really good fruit that will evolve favorably over the next 5 years, but let's face it; it's a 2012 and I'm thirsty now.

Thanks @Zack Geers for sharing this wine. Very silky and elegant, beautiful aromatics of both ripe red and dark fruit as well as floral characteristics, concentrated complex flavor but not a ton of grip, couldn't drink enough of this wine. (And yes we are playing catan)

A wow. Very nice nose and the Grenache really gives a nice balance.

2011 Vintage. 13% Alcohol. 38% Syrah, 26% Tempranillo, 18% Grenache, 18% Mourvèdre.. STGM. Unusual blend. Good acidity and mouthfeel, but not a top vintage.

Compelling nose with white pepper, cedar, and sour cherry...smooth and restrained on the palate....easy drinking and complex at the same time....13.7% alc...old world rhone blend without the euro-funk....
