A Rhône style blend of Syrah, Mourvedre and Cinsault, this wine tastes deep and earthy, though fresh plum and red berry fruit remains at its forefront. Beautifully balanced and impressively long on the finish, it nods in homage to its French model but still tastes very true to its less rustic New World self.
