Winery 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: I personally like red wines and was excited to taste this wine. It had a floral scent and a moderate bite to the taste. It was sweet, but not too sweet and had a good tannic balance to it. The wine exhibited a fruity aftertaste as well and I can confidently that this was my favorite wine of the five I tasted.

I did not have this wine with food.
