This is a very good value. Lots of character, nice texture, and it is pretty cheap. 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 10% Cinsault, 10% Carignan. Very dark, black ruby with violet highlights. Inviting nose of raspberry compote, baking spices, and minerally sandstone. Loads of flavor, generally at the lower register. Black raspberry, dark cherry, loads of dark minerals. Full-bodied, but with pretty good acids. It's also very clingy, with a long finish and a nice complement of dusty tannins. Should last and improve over the next two years. B+. Was $12.99 at Total Wine in Mclean, VA. Imported by Kysela Pere et Fils.
