Expertly extracted aromas of blackberry and cassis are spiced by cola and root beer elements on the nose of this blend of 82% Grenache, 12% Mourvèdre and 6% Syrah. The tannins provide a firm architecture to the palate, where the baked fig and berry flavors are cut by loads of nutmeg and other baking spices. — Matt Kettmann
