Rhone blend with Roussanne + Petit Sirah. Ripe & big, a crowd pleaser. This was a good deal when it was $15 wholesale. Scrubby. This blend shows earthy, spice box aromas with flavors of cherry, blueberry, and tea. From Wine Garage: "The nose reminds me of currant jam, black pepper, raspberry, & cocoa. The flavors pop out with more red & black fruits like strawberry, raspberry, cherry, peppercorn, slate, cigar box, & a hint of earth on the finish. Very bright & balanced wine. Have with Moroccan Lamb Tangine." roasted duck, goat gouda.

Wine Garage: "The nose reveals lavender, mineral, roasted meat, & blueberry. Dark in the glass, the palate gives off intense dark fruits such as blackberry, currant, & black cherry.
