Great fruit on nose. Slight salami and lots of ripe raspberry and a hint of blueberry. Slight tanned leather. Very good concentration of fruit on pallette with a nice long finish which displays great balance of med tannin acids, and fruit. Hint of sage. More notes l8r — 12 years ago

Soft, easy drinking. 80% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre. Slight raisin flavour which I usually associate with Mourvèdre. Red berry flavours, hint of cinnamon. Low tannin, low to medium acidity, medium finish. Retails at $20. Ok value. Grenache seems a little tired. Not for aging — 12 years ago
