2007 BRIGHT RED
Bright Red was inspired by the greatest wines in the Cotes du Rhone where these fantastic grape varieties work together. Grenache brings high-tone aromatics and up-front fruit. The Cinsaut is a spicy and savory variety that keeps the the fruitiness honest. Syrah puts meat on the bones and adds purpleness.

($20; a 33/34/33 blend) Bright ruby-red. Seductively perfumed nose offers fresh scents of blackberry, cherry preserves, flowers and Christmas spices. Light-bodied and very fresh, with energetic red and dark berry flavors and gentle cinnamon and clove qualities. Finishes sweet and brisk, with very good peppery persistence.
