Vintage Cellar 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!-WineReview (December 2013), 90 pts

My Review: As the first of two red wines at the tasting this week, I really enjoyed this wine. It was a light ruby red wine which smelled more grapey than the other wines this week. The taste is also very fruity and  rather refreshing.
