A blend of 62% Mourvedre, 23% Grenache, and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, the brilliant 2005 Hard Core boasts terrific aromatics of black currants, cherries, incense, spice, underbrush, and Provencal herbs. With fabulous fruit, medium to full body, a big, rich, savory mouthfeel, and a long, textured finish, it is irresistible now, and should age nicely for 4-5 years.
