The 2006 Estate Mark’s Vineyard is an intriguing blend of 61% Grenache and 39% Mourvedre and Syrah. It displays attractive game-like, raspberry, fig, and peppery notes, abundant spice, dark fruits, medium body, and admirable acidity as well as freshness. Readers should think of it as a pleasant California-styled Cotes du Rhone offered at a somewhat inflated price. Consume it over the next 1-2 years.Fax (805) 980-4497
