This wine showed very favorably in a blind tasting of foreign and domestic Rhône inspired blends. Syrah, Grenache and Carignane work well here, with blackberry, blueberry, white pepper, fennel and wet asphalt aromas translate well to flavors, with food friendly acidity and a medium long finish that’s well integrated. A definite value leader in this category.
