  Excellent wine from Nina Buty. This blend of blend of Syrah (41%), Cabernet Franc (20%), Cabernet Sauvignon (18%), Malbec (15%) and Mourvèdre was recommended by my local wine store as an excellent everyday drinker. It’s definitely more than an everyday drinker. It has aromas and flavors of sweet cherry, blueberry, boysenberry, huckleberry, pepper, and licorice. There are also some black berry tastes, as well. This blend is fruit forward, but keeps you interested with its multiple fruit flavors along with hints of coffee and leather. I don’t really like sweet wines, but somehow this bottle pulls it off with plenty of fruit, acidity, mellow tannins, and alcohol. It’s in a “sweet spot” and drinking well now.

  Serious wine for the price. The wine expresses a sense of place unmasked by obtrusive oak.
