Shop/wine critic/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: 
    This wine carries a nice dark garnet color and a well balanced sweet/tart cherry scent, which reminds me of cherries soaked in Kirschwasser. Upon tasting, the wine itself is rather dry and tannic and smoothly presents a nice mild cherry flavor. A smooth finish solidifies this wine as a solid delicious wine. 81-82/100
