This wine is nearly full-blown Mourvèdre, so it's dark. It's rich, too, with a nose of cassis and blackberries shrouded in smoke and tobacco. It's fragrant to a fault, if such a thing exists. The palate is beautiful, with deep, dark fruit and savory herbs bursting at the seams. The tannins are there, but are surprisingly tame. That's all the better for sipping. This is a wonderful wine with a bounty of aroma and flavor and a near-perfect touch of oak.
