The aromas are dark but there are plums and cherries there. Sweet, round fruit. Cherries, blueberries, fresh and bright on the palate. Lovely acidity and balance. Fine, sharp tannins that work well with the bright fruit. Finishes a bit short but bright and red fruited. Very nice, not complex, but pleasing. Could drink well for another 4 or 5 years. 47% Mourvedre, 21% Carignane, 15% Grenache, 12% Petite Sirah, 5% Syrah

Purple, slow thick tears, semi opaque, aromas of black raspberries, purple and dark red fruits, spicy peppery, tannics soft velcro, medium-full body medium acidity, balanced structurally, sweet ripe fruits, clean and delicious...we love this wine and to date have found it to be the RELIC that we most enjoy...

Decanted for nearly three hours. Made in a feminine style with wonderful fruit flavors, round and easy to consume. Just slightly cloying and was a hit with my wife and daughter. UPDATE 10/22/2018: Briefly decanted, highly extracted with palate coating tannins.
