Talented winemaker Ben Riggs has fashioned this blend of 94% Shiraz and 6% Viognier, which spent 10 months in French oak. This terrific value represents the frugal person’s Guigal Cote Rotie La Mouline. Its dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by an exotic, floral bouquet revealing aromas of apricots, black currants, and cherries. With loads of fruit, a soft texture, and an adventurous, exotic personality, it will be a fun wine to drink over the next 2-3 years.Importer: Benjamin Hammerschlag, Epicurean Wines, Seattle, WA; tel.
