Smokey, somewhat juicy, somewhat medicinal new-world imitation of a CdR. Doesn't quite have the earthiness that I like from the real deal, but enjoyable in its own way.

This is a decent Cote Du Rhone type wine. Aromatic , light-med bodied, baked berry, charcoal smokey cherry, still time for that summer BBQ red wine. 38% Mourvedre, 26% Grenache, 25% Cinsault, 11% Syrah

Excellent example of a new world version of a Cotes Du Rhone. Fruit forward and well balanced. Enjoy now.
