Leathery and fleshy, big and bold for a GMS. 15.9% ABV but nicely balanced despite the high alcohol.

2011 Vintage. 15.9% Alcohol. 57% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre, 18% Syrah. Lush mouthfeel with tannins resolved for this monster wine. Great blend.

Great. We are suckers for sweeter wines. This blend is just too drinkable.
