Shop 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: This red wine was surprisingly light. It had a slight cherry taste that was sweet, but also a little bitter. It felt hollow and dry on the palate. I did not taste this wine with food, and I felt it might have paired well with a chocolate that would accent the cherry flavors.
