Vintage Cellar Review: "This semi-opaque ruby, custom curvee 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: Red wines are not usually my favorite but I liked this one. I think it may have been the first red blend that I've tasted and I could tell it was much different from a varietal wine. I enjoyed the strong hint of cherries. I would definitely consider purchasing a bottle if I was in the mood for red wine.
Food: No
