| Review: |
"The 2019 Audacious is a blend of 31% Grenache, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Carignan and 17% Syrah, matured 19 months in 51% new French oak. Medium ruby-purple, it has dynamic aromas ranging from cassis and blue fruit to tobacco, bay leaves and dark spices, and it reveals lovely floral nuances with time in the glass. The medium-bodied palate has a soft, dusty texture, seamless acidity and a fan of spice and floral notes on the long, uplifted finish." |
