5 Blocks Cuvée Red Rhone Blend

As elegant as Mrs. Hoage

Excellent southern Rhone blend. The refined finish on these wines is so lovely.

This Rhone blend is on the bigger side for me but had enough structure to make it enjoyable. Best served with a rich dinner.

Smooth, black currant velvety flavor

2013 Vintage. After watching the live TH tasting on Facebook yesterday, had to open. Nice presentation by Chef Julien Asseo of LPC and Chicken Shack in Paso Robles. You can see replay on Facebook or Instagram. Consistent with prior notes. The last year with Cinsaut and Counois in the blend as they removed them for more Mourvèdre production per the presentation. Looking forward to when we can visit.

2015 Vintage. 14.6% Alcohol. 60/28/12% Syrah/Mourvèdre/Grenache. Needs more time to develop but drinking window is open.

Danny's contribution to last staff meal at Gravity Nov 2019. Delicious and generous. 14+ alc was in check. From a club he is/was a part of.

2012 Vintage. 61% Syrah, 20% Mourvèdre, 15% Grenache, 4% Cinsaut. Very nice but somewhat less than the 2013 Sans Liege Offering. The latter had more Grenache, but the perfume from 1% Viognier likely won us over.

2013 Vintage is open for business. 14.3% Alcohol. 72% Syrah, 13% Mourvèdre, 13% Grenache, 2% Cinsaut.

Gooooood but needs a few years
