This is a 50/50 blend of Grenache and Syrah from one of the truly great vineyards in California. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is great with black raspberries, some black cherries, black pepper, spice, roasted meats and herbs. Full bodied. Medium tannins. Great energy and acidity. On the palate, this is delicious. Not quite at peak but mature. Flavors of black raspberries and black cherries with some spice, minerality and char. Long finish. Drink over the next ten years. Great on its own, this went well with a bowl of vegetarian Chili.
