52% Syrah, 26% Mourvèdre, 22% Grenache. So, not a GSM, but an SMG. Just delicious. Rich nose has sappy, oozy blackberry infused with smoky embers and crushed stone. A whiff of dark cane syrup. It’s mouthfilling and more linear and lean in the mouth than the nose suggests. Savory and minerally mostly, with dry blackberry extract. Long finish. Really nice.

Did not remind me of a GSM at all. Probably a function of expectations.

Initially a little sharp. Leggy. Good wine, though.

After a full day of tasting elegant, earthy Pinots, this is a bit of a fruit bomb, but it’s alright for a by-the-glass offering. Rich, ripe blue and black fruit. Thick and viscous with a whisper of tannins, baking spice, and vanilla.
