91 Points | International Wine Cellar , January 2012

(58% grenache, 28% mourvedre and 14% syrah):  Vivid red.  Smoky cherry and black raspberry on the nose, with complicating notes of licorice, lavender and allspice.  Sweet, penetrating red fruit flavors show very good depth, with bright acidity providing back-end cut.  Finishes with excellent chewy persistence, the red fruit notes repeating strongly.
