Shop 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 smelled very creamy and buttery. These scents and tastes overpowered almost all of the other sensations, although it did taste slightly more fruity than it smelled. This wine was also very dry. I probably would not order this wine, as having a buttery red wine was strange to me, and not what I was expecting.
