A classic nose brings together black cherry and blueberry with iris, rose and white pepper, all wrapped into a concentrated whole. The palate is round and rich, with ripe, dense fruit easing into spice, white pepper, and red licorice.

A fresh, juicy style, with bouncy licorice and crunchy plum powered by a beam of graphite-laced acidity. Touches of lavender and herbs add dimension. Shows good inner brightness; this is a pure and unadulterated style, with a slight whiff of apple wood smoke on the finish. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre.
