Vintage Cellar 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!"

My Review: The initial taste is fruity possibly blueberry, but finishing with something more savory like pepper.  It had nice body but finished a little to dry for my taste.  The rich flavors would be great paired with steak or fajitas, something earthy and savory.  I did not taste this with food.
