Bold strawberry and cherry flavors come across as just a tiny bit sweet—and there is 8 g/L of residual sugar in this wine. But despite a slightly confected quality, this effusive, berry-flavored blend of Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Pinot Meunier finishes clean and refreshing. Not meant for aging; drink until the next vintage becomes available.——J.C.(12/31/2007)—— 89
