Blend of 41% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah and 14% Cinsaut. Deep Ruby with aromas of berry fruit and spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and blueberry with black pepper spice. Fine tannins, medium finish ending with fruit and spice.

Randall Grahm won’t be making this anymore but it’s a terrific wine. New world CdP style blend that has layers of depth and flavor but also a precise and refreshing delicacy. So much to love. Delicious now but with years ahead of it.

Juicy dense red raspberry, minimal bramble, hot stone, cedar. Effortlessly quaffable.

Seems like a blast from the past as only have a few Bonny Doon’s left. Visited the winery several times. Anyway, drinking great all around. I wish this app would allow you to put in a location
