Superb! Another hit from Bonny Doon, this 'Rhone clone" is composed of Mourvedre, Grenache, Syrah and Cinsault grapes, and has come into it's own handily. Deep plum, meat, and soy notes leave a stunning umami mouthfeel. We enjoyed this wine with braised short ribs and garlic mashed potatoes, which it complimented handily.

Smoothed out and elegant, but showing some funk. Exotic is another way to put it.
