True Believer Cuvée 99 Santa Maria Valley Red Blend 2016

9.3

Another Southern Rhone blend that has higher percentage of Grenache than the reserve, the ‘16 is in a good place now. More dark-fruited than the ‘17 I tasted, the nose shows plum, blackberry, currant, black pepper, licorice, and violet. Rich and concentrated on the palate with tightly knit fruits, round acidity and savory undertone. Plush ripe tannins. — 3 days ago

Santa Maria Valley Red Blend

My last bottle of this terrific multi-vintage blend of 61% Grenache, 35% Syrah, and 4% Mourvèdre. TB1 was released in 2019 and it’s the only non-vintage release. There will be no TB2, sadly.
Redolent with spiced ripe dark and red fruits, this is nevertheless savory and meaty. Proper GSM blend with California flair.

Domaine De l'Iserand

Alliance S. Larnaud & J-F. Malsert Grenache Gamay 2018

Bright and a tad hot. Some pepper/spice. Cherry cola with soft tannins and a TON of acidity. Almost an effervescence which never hurts my feelings. Smells candy sweet but drinks with a bit more maturity. — 3 years ago
