GSM Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre
This 44% Grenache/42% Syrah/14% Mourvèdre is (forgive for the basicness of the word, but it’s true) delicious. One of those blends you really pick up each of the grapes’ best offerings. Plummy dried purple fruit and fresh red plums mingle with black olive, meeting floral hints, all ballasted with earth and minerality. The nose is rather enchanting. The tannin/alcohol/acid balance is appreciated. It is warming, spicy, and lifting, but with saline notes on top of tobacco. And punches WAY over its weight for the price point.

Nov 13th, 202447% Grenache, 47% Shiraz, 7% Mourvedre. Drinking at the San Francisco Airport out of a cup and staying classy. Shiraz overpowers the Grenache and the wine seems pretty high octane. Wish there was a little more balance and not so much power.

May 18th, 2018Dark fruit and refreshingly pronounced wet river stone on the nose. Med - acid with powerful fruit punch, dark fruit and Dr Pepper on the palate. Clean finish with a touch of sweetness to clean it up. Decent wine

1 person found it helpfulMar 7th, 2018Has that classic Aussie nose of eucalyptus. Not overly fruity, light tannins. Good for the price. Didn’t find it very lively.

Apr 24th, 2021Body reminded me of Pinot Noir. We drank lightly chilled with dinner. Glass#2 better than one. Finish softens and lingers after it opens. This wine feels harsh and has a bite straight from the bottle. Pour a glass and wait... Juicy red berries. Floral on the nose. Earthy/musty finish. Texture is average, no wood. Good change of pace wine.
