Winery 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!"

My review: Not for me! The nose of this wine is very woody, specifically oak. The tannins were very strong giving the wine a sharp peppery finish. Like many Old World wines, I think it would have been better with food. Maybe some meat or cheese would have helped me like it better.
I tasted this on its own with no food.
