Pale to medium salmon colored with a watery sheen (12.5% ABV).  The nose has medium intensity aromas of white strawberry, cranberry, white blossom, tangerine peel and white grapefruit pith.  The palate is dry, with medium (+) acidity and a light body.  Medium intensity flavors lead to a decent, mid length finish that has a refreshing zing.  This wine has a bit of oomph to it, I like that.  It’s a blend of 40% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 15% Carignan, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon.  It gets 90 points from me and for the $15 price tag- 5 stars.  Drink now.  Salut….
