Nose of blackberry, plum, dark stone fruits, black cherry, cassis, hints of oak, vanilla, slight hint of green pepper or green herbs at the back end--very complex, it keeps changing, giving up more notes as it sits (but it won't sit long). Big, fruity and bold, full bodied. Big but soft tannins-like a bear hug, but from grandma. Subtle oak, perfectly balanced acidity. Long, long balanced finish--I am still getting hints of this wine over 5 minutes after tasting. Big and bold by itself, a perfect foil to a juicy grilled ribeye with sautéed mushrooms and asparagus. Mourvèdre forward Rhone blend of Mourvèdre, Grenache, Syrah and Petite Sirah, which is the "stranger" of this blend.
