This wine has a rich, dark red color leaning towards purple in the center of the glass. On the nose, earthy, woodsy aromas are joined by dark berries and notes of dried meats and mocha powder. The wine exhibits medium body with velvety tannins and a juicy, mouthwatering finish due to flinty, crisp acidity. This is a wine that will work on practically any occasion, with a wide variety of foods. A blend of 30% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 20% Mourvédre, 20% Petite Sirah.
Radiant and shimmering deep straw in color to a light golden hue. On the nose this wine has distinctive white flower and orchard fruit aromas. On the palate honeysuckle and nectarines along with fleshy peaches and apricots are interlaid with sweet spicy notes and hints of vanilla cream on the finish. There is lots of delicious fruit packed in this wine, but it is the vibrant, energetic acid profile that strikes the palate from start to finish that I find keeps me coming back to the glass over and over again.
Light ruby red to deep garnet in color. The nose has a distinctive red fruit character with a brambly, fresh cut wood quality. Lots of spicy cedar and cinnamon aromas. Fresh red fruits, like raspberries, strawberries and cherries dominate the mid-palate along with a dose of savory, earthy spice that leads to a firm and edgy finish. This is a medium bodied Grenache with a great backbone of acid and lean structure. The finish is lengthy and bright and will benefit from moderate age or a bit of time in a decanter.
