Brilliant, deep ruby color. The aromatics are intense, offering scents of plum, raspberry, and dried herbs with supporting notes of leather, mineral, hibiscus flower, thyme, and hints of cigar box. The palate echoes the nose, delivering a red fruit-driven core with flavors of boysenberry, blueberry, earth, red currant, and mocha. The finish is long and lingering with chewy tannins. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced with an opulent texture. Made with a blend of 30% Syrah, 27% Grenache, 20% Cinsault, 19% Mourvedre, and 4% Carignan.
