Maybe if I had tasted this blind I would have had a different impression. This is very nice but for me, the Grenache is still quite noticeable. I am not particularly a fan of the big G. Striking acidity. Fruit forward. Very well integrated tannins.

87% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 3% Grenache in this blend that is a joy to drink with licorice, graphite, iron oxide nose and velvety blackberry and blueberry cobbler taste. 2011 Vintage.

Take note. The stigma of 2011 largely applies to some of Napa. The best winemakers in Napa and most of everyone outside of Napa actually did well in 2011. #dontsleep This one was amazeballs!!!

This and laventure best wines of the night. This one is interesting. Too bold without food. Too bold with food. But on the margin. Delicious.
