(A blend of Grenache and Shiraz, with bits of Mourvedre and Cinsault). Vivid red. Strongly aromatic nose displays scents of fresh red and dark berries and Asian spices, plus a gentle smoky quality. Pinot-like in freshness, with tangy raspberry and cherry flavors and a solid mineral underpinning. Repeats the lively red fruit notes on the finish, which is brisk, focused and admirably persistent.
