Interesting wine, so much that I ordered an additional case. Marsanne melon, nutty, and pear flavors prominent. The Rousanne sits nicely in the background, adding nice acidity and citrus tones, the Viognier adding just a hint of honeysuckle and sweetness, but in no way overbearing. And the Grenache Blanc adding a floral and just slightly sour apple. Very well balanced overall and IMO, a phenomenal QPR (Invino, $13.99). Reminds me of the Sans Permis wines that hit the market a few years back (I bought a lot) and have disappeared.

(Day 1) Subtle dark fruits, blackberry and black currant, eucalyptus, black olives, wet earth, very Pinot Noir in stature. Tannins just a bit over tight, but pleasant. Nose and taste in balance.
(Day 2) Tannins have subdued. No noted difference from Day 1, bottle was corked overnight. Will carafe the wine and re-taste with some air exposure the next day
(Day 3) Final day, 24 hours of air time, and surprisingly holding up its profile. Haven't had many wines do that. If I drank this blind, I'd guess this as a Pinot Noir, which tells me the vintner knows how to work Syrah to another level.
