"The 2011 Tessellae Old Vines Cotes du Roussillon is an intriguing blend of 40% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 15% Mourvedre and 5% Grenache Gris, a rare white grape.  It was aged 12 months in concrete tanks prior to being bottled unfiltered. It boasts an expansive, intense, complex bouquet of garrigue, strawberries and black cherries intermixed with a hint of spring flowers, a velvety texture and a voluptuous mouthfeel.  This beautiful, soft, round, seductive red should drink well for 4-5 years (2012-2017)."
