Wine Critic 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: I was
extremely encouraged when I started to smell this wine. After swirling it in
the glass, I got very strong scents of cranberry and earth. It was almost a
muddy smell. However, when I tried it I was very surprised by what I got. It
was extremely bitter and dry, immediately taking all of the moisture out of my
mouth (meaning it have a very strong tannin structure). It had an oak taste
with a cherry finish. The taste also lingered in my mouth for a while after drinking
it. This wine was not for me.
I did not taste this wine with food.
