Shop Review: A blend of 55% Merlot, 22% Syrah, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Mourvedre, 2% Cabernet Franc and 2% Grenache. Wonderful berry fruit on the nose with integrated oak notes woven throughout. On the palate black cherry and blackberries mingle with spice and oak notes. A broad and rich wine with a long elegant finish.

My Review: When I first smelt this wine, I had immediately thought of burnt wood, particularly burnt oak wood. There was also a blackberry or cherry aroma. When tasting this wine, I was surprise to find it more on the bland side of reds. I was thinking this wine would be bold in taste, but it wasn't. The finished was also muted.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
