"(includes 5% grenache and 2% petite sirah) Deep ruby. Vibrant aromas of blackcurrant, menthol, mocha, chocolate and a whiff of violet. Juicy, spicy and high-pitched, with excellent energy and lift to the flavors of dark berries, mint and smoky Indian spices. I like this wine's restrained sweetness. Finishes with very good clarity and gentle tannic grip."
