Opaque violet color with appealing kirsch, blackberry, Herbs de Provence, and white pepper aromas. On the palate, medium-bodied, with good acidity and fine grained well-integrated tannins with baked black cherry, blackberry, black raspberry and espresso flavors, and a bit of minerality, and a lingering finish. Russian River fruit. 50/50 Grenache and Syrah.

This wine has arrived. The youthful had dropped away and now a solid core remains. Still loaded with bright red fruit. A delight- sorry that it was my last bottle. The wines in a perfect place.

The tannins on this have fallen out and are leaving a grainy finish. The ripeness has faded a bit to dried fruit, fig, red, craisin. Still very interesting if a bit more astringent then I remembered.

Great wine. Bouquet exhibits white pepper and a hint of smoke. Slightly tart dark berry fruit, with zesty pepper, and hints of soft leather.
