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: Upon smelling the wine, it smelled like blackberries and black pepper. The Delaroche did not have a typical red wine dryness, but had some sweeter tones to it. It felt very smooth and light going down. Had a finishing flavor of cherries. I really enjoyed the nice flavors and smooth finish of this wine.
I did not try this wine with food.
