Doesn’t say so on the label, but this is largely Syrah, with 8% Grenache. It’s a well-structured, balanced wine whose high alcohol wears itself well around the blackberries and currants. But it does lack the concentration and drama of previous bottlings, evidence of the difficult 2011 vintage. Ready to drink now.
