This complex wine is a classic Grenache based Rhone style blend. The fruity Grenache is enhanced with pepper spice of Mourvedre, smoke and leather flavors of Syrah, rich texture of Carignan, and the floral notes of Tinta Cao, while the Viognier adds a tropical perfume. The wine is soft and supple which makes it excellent by itself or as an accompaniment to cheeses or tomato based dishes.
