46% Grenache, 26% Mourvèdre, 28% Syrah. Deep ruby color with purple tinges. Brooding aromas of ripe blackberry, red cherry, florals, with bramble, black currants, clove, anise, and a small remnant of gingerbread. Slowly as the palate opens, it reveals black cherry, black plum, marionberry herbs, black pepper, fig, thyme, vanilla, savory, kirsch-like quality smoke, granite, cedar, charred wood, with lighter note of earth and barnyard funk. This is a dry wine with medium acid, medium-plus fine-grained tannins, full bodied wine, with a medium plus finish.
Food Pairing: Grilled lamb chops with rosemary and garlic, slow-braised short ribs with black pepper and thyme, duck confit tacos with cherry salsa, wood-fired sausage and caramelized onion pizza, Moroccan spiced lamb meatballs with fig glaze, herb-crusted pork loin with plum reduction, wild mushroom and truffle risotto, charred eggplant with tahini and pomegranate, beef brisket with smoky spice rub, aged Manchego with Marcona almonds, blue cheese and fig jam, dark chocolate with sea salt and a whisper of smoke
