96 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2011

(57% grenache, 31% mourvedre and 12% syrah):  Deep, bright violet.  Intensely perfumed black raspberry and blueberry on the nose, with seductive Asian spice, lavender and incense qualities emerging with air.  Sappy red and dark berry liqueur flavors are lifted by juicy acidity picking up suave spice and floral pastille notes on the back end.  Velvety tannins provide shape but are absorbed by the lush fruit, which carries through an extremely long, sappy, incisive finish.
