Fun little blend of Grenache & Syrah with a splash of Sangiovese & Petit Sirah. Dark & juicy with firm structure and sappy baking spices @Rx Wine Lab

Rich but structured, beautiful fresh fruit aromas and what I think is whole cluster. Fresh finish.

2013 vintage. Somewhat briny nose with dried cured meats and tapenade. It's an interesting nose for sure, but the palate brings tart red fruit into the mix, with a peppery balance.

Good wine, would probably be even better with food but alas, it's 1am and all I wanted was wine.
