On the Palate: Blackberries, Cherries, Chocolate, Baking Spices, Plums (the flesh, no skin) with a touch of Smoke and Earthiness.
Over All: This wine was a nice inky ruby color. And a great value at $8 a bottle! It is mainly Syrah at 80% thus why the other varietals are not mentioned. But there is 9% Counoise (probably added for the spice), 8% Grenache (to add more dark cherry), and 3% Mouvedre (probably added for the smoke and earth) involved as well.
It sort of has a GSM/Châteauneuf-du-Pape thing going on.
