($42) Ruby-red. Inky, dense aromas of blackcurrant, cherry, fruitcake and molasses. Thick and sweet but also tangy, with a strong note of tamarind providing a bright accent to the lush dark fruit tones. Rich, powerful, deep and very long on the finish, which is exotic in its sweetness but given vibrancy by suave acidity. Wild stuff.

70% Mourvedre and 30% Cab.Sav. is a change for my palate. The layers of flavors in this wine is differently awesome if I may say. The finish is powerful and delicate at the same time.
If you have not had this Mourvedre grape before,
here it is! This wine is all about the finish.

I see that Parker has the 2003 as a 96 and the 2002 was only a 93. I'd rate them just the opposite. I served some 2002 to several people who just went nuts over it, and the 2003 is still very good, but it hasn't evoked the same enthusiasm from most tasters I know. But I love every wine I've ever tried from this label. They're very reliable.
