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!"

My Review

• The wine was a very dark, rich red color
• The wine smelled very spicy, peppery, and a little sour
• The wine tasted very dry, spicy, hot finish, sour cherries
• Overall this was not my favorite wine, very dry with a strong finish. 

I did not pair this with food, it would probably significantly improve the taste though.
