Critics review: "This semi-opaque ruby, custom cuvee 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: On the nose, the Garnacha reflected dark berries and had a nice maroon color. The scent and color combination made the wine very inviting even before tasting the wine. The taste was somewhat surprising due to the noticeable charcoal flavor. The depth of the wine left a great lasting flavor with a somewhat dry aftertaste. I would pair this with a nice pasta dinner.
I tasted this on it's own without food.
