92 Points | International Wine Cellar , July/August 2012

(52% shiraz, 29% grenache and 19% mourvedre):  Bright violet color.  Dark berries, licorice, mocha, lavender and black pepper on the nose.  Supple and smooth in texture, with fresh blueberry and blackberry fruit complicated by touches of mocha and vanilla.  Offers a suave combination of depth and vivacity, finishing with clinging sweetness and subtle floral notes.
