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:
This GSM blend was quite nice. It had a good fruity but slightly earthy nose. The taste was primarily a mix of red fruit such as raspberries and hints of cherries. It had a certain spice to it with a peppery component. The finish had weight to it and went down smooth and lingered a bit. This was an enjoyable wine.
