Wine Spectator 89 pts - Harvey Steiman
Ripe and vivid, with a tangy balance to the dark plum and blackberry flavors, finishing with a modicum of spice. Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Counoise. Drink now through 2015. 514 cases made.

Wine Enthusiast 88 pts - Paul Gregutt
This Rhone red puts lots of toasty goodness around light fruit from a blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre and Counoise grapes. Soft and generous, it starts with watermelon and ends with black cherries, all coated with mocha and cinnamon. What's not to like?

Description:
The finished wine shows intense fruit and savory character, with focused red and black berry fruit. On the nose, perfumed blackberry, blueberry, and marionberry take on a candied tone, with hints of vanilla and caramel. On the palate the wine is soft, plush, and full. The texture is coated with strawberry cream and rich, chocolatey tannins, and the finish is silky and gratifying.
