This wine is a blend of grenache, syrah, carignan, and cinsault. I've only heard of the first two before. There are an awful lot of grape varietals in the world, aren't there?
It smells sweet, smooth, and tingly with some earthiness.
The taste is restrained, reminding me of cumin and roasted tomato. It's pleasant and mellow.

I’ve been wine tasting for years now, but I like to think I approach it from the average consumer’s perspective. I believe the average consumer can appreciate when a cabernet franc boasts deep flavors or that first effervescent sip of vinho verde conjures up delightful summertime memories. But more often than not, they just want an affordable glass of wine that tastes delicious while lounging by the TV.
