60% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre, 5% Cinsault, 5% Counoise. Inky purple in color. The nose is great with black raspberries, leather, plums, slight earthiness, char and some black cherries. On the palate, this has a wonderful rich texture. Medium tannins. It is young but bursting with fruit without being over the top. Black cherries, black raspberries, underlying earthiness and char. Long finish. This is a big wine and needs either big or spicy food. It is still probably 7 years from maturity and will last another 10 after that (at least). That said, it is delicious and enjoyable right now.
