Idiom SMV - Rhone Style Blend 2013

A medium to full-bodied blend of Shiraz, Mourvèdre and Viognier. Aromas of ripe red cherries, lavender and vanilla. Tantalizing flavours of white pepper and exotic spices dance on the palate. Smooth velvety tannins and a long rich finish make for an elegant wine with real promise
