(2014 Vintage Notes)

This successful blend, made primarily from Grenache (80%) and Syrah, fully expresses its red fruit character, with hints of spice (black pepper), mint, and licorice. The palate is round and well-structured by silky tannins, with aromas of prunes. The wine achieves balance thanks to a fresh finish that lingers with notes of dark fruit.
