"A selection from Miocene-era sandstone soils in the northern end of the appellation, this is based on grenache vinified solely in stainless steel; the 30 percent of syrah and mourvèdre in the blend age in second- and third-use oak barrels. The result offers both an energetic pop of red-cherry flavor and a deeper, lasting complexity of earth and spice that holds the flavors long and adds succulence."
