"(47% Mourvèdre, 21% Carignane, 15% Grenache, 12% Petite Sirah and 5% Syrah): Deep ruby-red. Sexy aromas of blackberry, cracked pepper, flowers and spices. Cool, spicy and aromatic in the mouth, with blue and black fruit flavors lifted by flowers and white pepper and given structure by firm tannins. This bottling features the highest percentage of Mourvèdre yet, notes winemaker Mike Hirby, as well as 110-year-old Carignan vinified with whole clusters. Really lovely aromatics here."
