A composed red with a supple-textured palate that’s full of black cherries and blackberries, as well as piquant spice and terra cotta. Integrated, dusty tannins on the palate with pristine ripe fruit. Flavorful, with naturally concentrated fruit that’s evenly spread across the palate. 66% syrah and 34% grenache. Drink or hold.
