2006 Linne Calodo Sticks and Stones

(94 points) The 2006 Sticks and Stones (a combination of 65% Grenache, 24% Mourvedre, and 11% Syrah) exhibits a Chateau Rayas-like nose of kirsch liqueur, licorice, and flowers. There is super fruit on the attack, entry, mid-palate, and finish. Beautifully elegant, pure, and already complex, this 380-case cuvee should drink well for 7-8 years. Wine Advocate #177 Jun 2008
