This blend of 54% Grenache, 28% Shiraz and 18% Mourvèdre often offers solid value. The 2009 features hints of mocha, vanilla and red plum on the nose, accented by a pinch of peppery cinnamon. In the mouth, it’s medium to full in body and richly textured without being over the top, then ends on a warming spice note. Drink now and over the next few years.
