($40): Named after the granddaughter of Clos La Chance owners Bill and Brenda Murphy, this unusual blend–Grenache (40%), Syrah (20%), Carignan and Alicante Bouchet (15% each), Cinsault and Petite Syrah (5% each)–actually works to produce a wine with depth and complexity.  The 14.5% alcohol confirms the ripe, but not overdone, flavors that spread out over the palate.  Not just fruit flavors, but spice and herbs come through.  Nicely balanced and long, the finely honed tannins allow you to enjoy it now with grilled meats. 91 Michael Apstein May 5, 2009
