A translucent wine with a magenta core. If I were to drink this wine blind, I would think it was mostly Grenache. On the palate I got a lot of bing cherry. This intermingles with some dark fruit. They syrah tasted as if it were from a cool climate. It is an elegant wine with nice tannin structure. This was the 1st bottle I had from Ledge, it won't be my last.

Fourth wine at The Vineyard. Second favorite out of these wines. The syrahs need now time to integrate. Light purplish red. Nose had dark berries, and violet or lavender. Definitely more fruit than the previous wines. Moderate tannins (6/10) and moderate body with lingering finish. Could be cellared for up to a decade.

Very bright, pretty aromatics. Ripe black cherries and raspberries. Grenache really shows right now. Balanced, juicy and delicious

A very pretty nose that is mingled with flowers, light red fruit, nail polish, light oak and candied ginger. Palate is filed with light red fruits, white stone fruits, medium tannins and medium finish.

This is a great, easy drinking Rhône blend. Grenache, Syrah, Zinfandel and Tannat make up the blend. Juicy and tasty...

@Delectable Wine This is the 2015 MCA Cuvee, not the Vineyard Drive, which is 40% Grenache, 40% Tannat, and 20% Syrah. First vintage of this blend and the Tannat holds it all together and adds a layer of tannins that will keep this going for quite some time. With that being said, this is lovely right now. The nose is full floral with a sweet undertone; palate is similar, with a savoriness and sweet black raspberry, black currant and violet from the Syrah and Grenache blend. Great job here by @onetimespaceman here in blending and creating wonderful juice.

This is a big wine but in no way heavy. The balance made me happy right away. Next up is taste of bright red fruit with a finish that's light on tannin but fluid throughout with rock . Great wine from first sip to last.
