Wine Review: "This semi-opaque ruby, custom cuvée of 50% Syrah, 40% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre is made specifically for Fran Kysela. It exhibits very fresh, ripe dark red fruit with very good palate weight and depth and ends with rich fruit notes. Made from organically grown grapes. Incredible value!" - I-WineReview (December 2013), 90 pts.
My Review: While I'm not usually a fan of red wines, I actually really enjoyed this one. It really smelled of chocolate and oak. It also had a peppery and oak flavor to it. Honey, rum, and earthy were also things that came to mind when tasting it. Definitely one of the first red wines, that I could actually see drinking more than a few sips of!
