Product Info

WINEMAKER'S NOTES:

The early fall breeze brushes through the orchard, bringing with it aromas of red plum, cinnamon bark, cocoa, and freshly oiled leather. The harvest table is bountiful; friends and family all gather round. Wooden bowls full of green olives and mixed berries are passed as you warm your hands on a rustic mug filled with anise black tea. You can’t help but smile with gratitude for the season.

TASTING NOTES:

"A brooding core is wrapped in a polished, zesty texture, offering blackberry, cured meat and smoky cracked pepper flavors as this builds toward fine-grained tannins. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Viognier. Drink now through 2030."
Wine Spectator, 92 pts

"This blend of 45% Grenache, 33% Syrah, 21% Mourvèdre and 1% Viognier is quite light in the glass and shy in aromas at first, although patience reveals red-plum and wild herb touches. The lightly bodied palate is zippy in acidity, offering flavors of wild berry, rosewater, forest mint and white pepper."
