This likeable blend of 45% Grenache, 30% Shiraz and 25% Mataro (Mourvedre) features a mix of intense red fruits—raspberries and cherries—and minty, herbal complexity. It’s soft and round, and altogether pleasing, with just a dusting of silky tannins on the long finish. Drink now and over the next few years.——J.C.(8/1/2009)—— 91
