91 Points | International Wine Cellar , July/August 2007

($30; 53% grenache, 29% shiraz, 10% mourvedre and 8% cinsault) Bright ruby. Vibrant, perfumed aromas of cherry and raspberry liqueur underscored by cracked pepper and dried floral notes. Deeply concentrated, almost medicinal cherry and dark berry flavors gain sweetness with air, with chewy but harmonious tannins emerging. Finishes spicy and energetic, with excellent clarity and persistence. (Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA)
