Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of about 65% Grenache, 25% Syrah and rest Mourvèdre, deep Ruby red color with aromas of red fruit flavors, spice and cedar. On the palate flavors of raspberry, tart cherry and plum with herb spice, cedar and pepper notes. Fine tannins, long finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy oak. Nice!

Vanilla, baking spice, tart tart berries. Almost an odd tartness.

Lighter color. Little bit of funk on the nose that adds some intrigue.. Ripe plum with a spicy finish. Bigger, interesting, unique wine.

74% Grenache, 20% syrah 6% mourvedre.
Smells of cherry and berry jam. Tastes of dark cherry and dark berry, slightly astringent but a good wine.
