This wine is a perfect blend of 33% Grenache, 33% Syrah and 34% Mourvédre. 

To start, Brad used both new and older oak, both American and French.
 
For this special reserve, Brad aged the wine for an extra year in two year old French oak.  

Rich medium ruby in color,  the nose is full of chocolate covered cherries and spice. 

On the palate, the dark cherry and plum flavors take over, however the spicy notes of the Grenache still come through taking you to well balanced, lingering finish. 

The extended aging definitely shows through from from beginning to end. Delish!
