Tasting notes
The Syrah-based 2010 Nemesis comes across as a bit understated in this vintage. It has good depth and balance, but at the same time, elements of dilution are present in the wine's mid-weight structure. Hints of plum, menthol, black cherries, licorice and tar flow through to the nicely articulated finish. The blend is 77% Syrah, 18% Mourvedre and 5% Grenache.

(made from 77% syrah, 18% mourvedre and 5% grenache): Bright ruby. Highly perfumed aromas of black and blue fruit preserves, potpourri and incense, with sexy Asian spice nuances emerging with air. Juicy, strikingly intense blackberry and blueberry flavors are complicated by notes of allspice and candied violet, with a subtle peppery quality adding bite. Silky tannins give shape to a very long, spicy, penetrating finish.
