Shop Review: A blend of 55% Merlot, 22% Syrah, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Mourvedre, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Grenache. Wonderful berry fruit on the nose with integrated oak notes woven throughout. On the palate black cherry and blackberries mingle with spice and oak notes. A broad and rich wine with a long elegant finish.

My Review: This wine smelled of berries, oak, tobacco, and sweet chocolate. On the palate this wine is dry and earthy with more prominent oak flavors coming through. 

This wine was not tasted with food.
