this 11-vineyard blend of 51% syrah, 31% grenache, 14% mourvèdre and 4% counoise represents an excellent value in the realm of expertly balanced but boisterously flavored wines. the fruity nose shows smashed raspberry, boysenberry, violet and potpourri, leading into a lively palate full of rose petals, exotic red cherries and turned earth. it's easy to drink yet intellectual as well.
