Pours ruby in color. Much darker than expected by a Grenache- almost Syrah in color. . Bing cherry, wild cherry and earth aromas. Cherry continues in the flavor along with some smoke. Tannins are there but not over bearing provides a well integrated structure. Medium body with a very long finish.

Creativity is a Winemakers' choice each year....2014 is 100% Mourvedre at a big Paso Robles 15.9% alc.

45 min decant. A splendid dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: dark berries, chocolate, eucalyptus, smokey vanilla, and a touch of meat. Taste: smooth, creamy mouthcoating wine with brambly blackberry/dark cherry, dark chocolate, pepper, smoke, and gravel leading to a medium plus finish. YUM!

2013 Vintage. 15.8% Alcohol. Strong start but then with air almost corked or in a weird place.

Well-integrated earthy character coming through from the large percentage of Mourvèdre. A most fitting wine after a fantastic seminar by Danna!

Took about an hour to open up and become fantastic. Highly extracted, blackberry, gravel.
