This was a very nice surprise! I'd seen this blend of Syrah, Mourvedre, and Grenache (according to the winery website) in Spec's several times and almost picked it up, and finally my curiosity got the best of me. And I was glad it did. It reminded me of a very well done, drinkable style Vacqueyras from the Rhone.Blackish dark ruby. Loads of stony minerals and spicy blackberry fruit in the nose. Mouthfilling and medium full-bodied, it was filled with sandstoney, stony, iodine-laced dark berry fruit. Loads of soft tannin are present, and the flavors are very clingy in the long, pleasurable finish. A-. Was $14 at Spec's on Weslayan/Bissonnett. Get some of this!
