A Rhône style blend that this year is Syrah forward, but wisely designated with a proprietary name thanks to ten percent Grenache and 6% Mourvedre that tempers the boldness of Syrah and adds white pepper, cherry and brown spice in addition to a general softening. Give this a good decanting to release all it has to offer.
