43% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah, 8% Carignan, 4% Cinsaut, 3% Graciano, 2% Counoise
The brightly pitched nose is singing with wild strawberry, Chinese 5-spice, chaparral and jasmine elements. Flavors of crushed pomegranate, orange peel, miso and roasted maitake mushrooms intermingle on the silky mid-palate. The finish is precise, with chalky tannins and long, lingering flavors.
