75/21/4 blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Yakima Valley, 14.7% alc/vol. Purple red, very good clarity, moderate to high pigment extraction. Red fruit, diacetyl and herbs in the nose. Red fruit including cherry and raspberry in the mouth. Needs a bit of time to open. Online tasting notes of others include earthiness and hibiscus flavors. I don’t get any citrus notes on the initial pour though it emerges after 30 minutes as dried tangerine peel. Mouthfeel is smooth with light skin astringency. Elegant. After three hours, the wine softens while the red fruit flavors lengthen and achieve great depth. Decant three hours if you can.
