Pretty full throttle Paso GSM. Spicy red fruit, chalkiness, some meat from the Syrah, but Grenache is really forward, body yet swift on its feet. Def CA palate pleaser!

Delicious. BIG, but not fruity, velvety luscious blend of Syrah and Grenache and a touch of Mourvèdre, 15.5%, great after a cold day of skiing and with a hearty steak. Hints of blackberries. Wonderful warm flush to the cheeks and chest.

Dark. Pretty subtle nose. Some bramble and spice. Big palate that really lingers. Great stuffing.
Dark big fruit with bite. Drinking great but I did decant two hours. Probably even better with another year as still a little tannic. Some heat still evident. Great effort from tiny producer.
