I quite enjoy this Saxum GSM blend. 43% grenache, 29% mouvèdre, 18% syrah. Paso Robloes. Wild, purple flavor (like K syrah) with lots of tannin and fruit left. Tasty. $140. RP 97 pts.

Ruby red, slight violet tint. Red fruits galore, black pepper and spice. Full body still tannic, with a very long finish. Needs decanting. Great wine.

From the barrel. Pure Grenache. Spectacular sustained kirsch like no Grenache I've ever tasted. This should become amazing.
