Shop 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: It starts of somewhat tart and jammy with definite red fruit notes carried throughout. In the mid palate the dark red fruit becomes so deep it is almost earthy with hints of mushroom. Definitely a good weight and body, medium dry, medium alcohol.
