Moderate ruby color in the glass. Dried cherry, red licorice, smoked meat, and garrigue evident on the nose. Like many ‘11 CdP’s, a bit lighter on the palate but still with nice red fruit, pleasant minerality, and just a hint of tannin. Blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, and 5% Cinsault from 80 year-old vines. 15% alcohol.
