Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, and Cabernet Sauvignon (with a few other varieties) from Sonoma (69%) and Sierra Foothills (31%), deep Ruby with aromas of black fruits, spice and sweet herbs. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and herb spice with notes of pepper. Medium+ finish, fine tannins, ending with fruit, spice and slight oak.

Another excellent vintage of this fantastic Helen Kepplinger Rhône-style blend. Bold nose of red berry fruit, violets and white pepper. Ripe and plush raspberry and strawberry on the pallet but nicely balanced. Tannins are silky and fine grained. Excellent!
