Bold and brash. Pepper, dried dead flowers, Mexican cocoa powder. Pepper. American Chateauneuf-du-Pape. This is that girl that I always want to ask out but can’t! Ugh.

Wet gravel, dried roses, and a hint of sulphur on the nose. Pepper tannic structure that coats the tongue. A bold GSM, a powerful, heady hot.

Deep cherry and cranberry notes with earthy notes of cedar and leather. Nice balance of acidity with a smooth finish.

Outstanding red blend from Columbia Valley . Full bodied and smooth. Grenache Syrah and Mourvèdre. Had it with Halibut in lobster broth at Nells in Seattle Greenlake. Quite a treat.
