The 2006 Avatar Grenache (60%)-Mataro (20%)-Shiraz (20%) spent 16-18 months in seasoned oak. It displays aromas of damp earth, forest floor, baking spices, black cherry, and blueberry. Structured on the palate and compact, this savory effort reveals some mocha and licorice leading to a moderately lengthy finish. Drink it over the next 6-8 years.
