"A blend of 50% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 25% Mourvedre) Full red-ruby color. Captivating aromas of crushed blackberry, licorice, herbs, dried flowers, tree bark, resin and pepper; showing its mourvedre side today. Sappy, lively and dense, with tangy flavors of raw berries, tree bark, pepper, leather and minerals. Very distinct, silky Chateauneuf. This really clings to the palate and lingers."

The southern Rhone's most famous appellation, blending Grenache with Syrah, Mourvedre and more into rich, warming, spice-laden reds from galet-strewn soils.
