this randall grahm wine, which also includes 9% mourvèdre and 2% syrah, hits the nose with tight raspberry juice, hibiscus, cola and iron aromas, proving tight and mineral-driven. pencil lead leads the lighter palate, which also shows brisk pomegranate, black and white pepper and a menthol-like sichuan-peppercorn sensation on the finish. it's a tremendous wine for the price.
