89 Points | International Wine Cellar , March/April 2009

($39; a blend based on 55% syrah and 20% grenache) Dark red. Blackberry, licorice, leather and wild herbs on the nose. A sweet, savory fruit bomb in the mouth, with sexy flavors of currant, plum, dried herbs and mint. Finishes a tad warm, but smooth and easy to drink.
