Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of Grenache, Carignan, Syrah & Mourvedre, deep Ruby with aromas black fruits and floral notes. On the palate flavors of plum and blackberry with notes of cacao, spice and earthy notes. Medium+ finish, fine tannins, great mouthfeel (15.2 ABV), ending with fruit and earthy spice, nice!

Gorgeous aromatic complexity but the mid-palate was hot w/ABV - finish was a bit rough. Thought this was overdone, over manipulated and clumsy. Smelled great tho

Beautiful deep, metallic ruby color with plum aroma. The first sip is startling in its unique flavor. Moving forward it becomes a mildly acidic and very spicy wine that’s really enjoyable. It’s dry, bold and lingering taste makes it memorable. (🎥 The Batman)

Wow, not necessarily a Dave Phinney devotee but someone recommended this and it was fantastic - bit on the overextracted side and def a bit hot ABV but the depth & complexity of flavors was impressive + bump for QPR… Bravo!
