2009 Mark Herold Wines Flux Rhone Blend (Red Wines / Red Blends)

93pts(WS) Deliciously pure and refreshing, with snappy, vibrant red berry, pomegranate, subtle dusty earth, road tar and dried herbal flavors that are all well-proportioned. Ends with crisp tannins that give the flavors traction. Grenache, Syrah, Carignane and Petite Sirah. Drink now through 2023. 1,250 cases made. —James Laube Wine Spectator September 10, 2012
