90 Points | International Wine Cellar , July/August 2006

($30; 62% grenache, 15% shiraz, 15% cinsault and 8% mourvedre, all but the shiraz from vines at least 80 years old) Deep ruby. Smoky aromas of blueberry and blackberry, with mineral and tobacco notes adding complexity. Plummy and round in the mouth, the fruit showing serious sweetness but also good focus and precision. Finishes juicy and fresh, with a lingering flavor of ripe blackberry. (Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA)
