a kitchen-sink blend of 60% shiraz, 20% cab sauv, 7% grenache, 6% mourvèdre, 4% cinsault and 3% viognier. aromas of crushed violet petals are pitted against the intense mulled-raspberry and black-fruit core. drinkable now, with approachable tannins and a dusty, cocoa-sprinkled finish, but could age until 2014.
