2009 Wind Gap Wines Orra North Coast (750ml)

"91 out of 100 - (69% grenache, 21% mourvedre and 10% counoise; no new oak): Medium red. Pungent, spice-accented aromas of peppery red berries, cherry, blood orange and herbs are lifted by a floral topnote. Sappy and focused, with a peppery quality giving lift to its bitter red fruit flavors. Possesses very good mid-palate heft, with firm tannins adding shape and grip to the persistent finish. - Stephen Tanzer, vinous.com
