Very nice. The light shade of color belies the level and depth of flavors emanating from the glass. A little saline verve just under the fruit was nice as well.

Limpid orange. Mineral-tinged red currant, cherry and blood orange aromas are complemented by a suave floral nuance and a hint of succulent herbs. Dry, chewy and focused on the palate, offering concentrated red berry and orange pith flavors that stretch out and deepen with air. Concentrated yet impressively lively, finishing with lingering florality, a touch of dried red berries and outstanding persistence. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, June 2018)

Just delicious, but description is wrong since majority varietal is Granache and only 1% Syrah
