If the Spice Girls ever produced a wine, this would be their signature bottle. The lovely spices presented in this wine from our always favorite winemaker, Torbreck is a splendid melody. The blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro produces this deep black berry color and a robust finish on the palate. However, just like the group, this could be a level of spice that is overpowering for some if you expose yourself to it too soon. Go ahead, let it breathe for an hour and proceed to spice up your life.
