Plenty of juicy Grenache character coming through. Brambly, wild blackberry fruit up front with excellent freshness, lean mouthfeel, taut tannins and exotic earthy spices. Very balanced and bright expression of DCV.

I am not a big fan of GSM's but this wine might change my approach to the blend. No soy un gran admirador de la mezcla llamada GSM, pero este vino pueda que cambie mi gusto a esa mezcla de uvas!

Earth, little red fruit, much lighter than most GSM I’m used to.

Big fruity Grenache and earthy, brambles balanced with soft tannins from the age. Magnum age showed perfectly, note to self: 5 years for Quivira/Hugh Chappelle GSM.

Spicey notes from the Syrah was noticeable. A very balanced wine with a velvety mouth feel.
