The wine begins with a nose combining brambly raspberry and blackberry fruit with wonderful earthy/gamey/wild Carignan notes and black-olive subtleties from the Syrah. The fruit extract on the palate is just fantastic for an under $10 wine. In its inky, palate-staining character, it acts very much texturally like wines that cost two or three times as much.
