This is a GSM blend from California. Torrin makes great wines. They are huge and really should go seven to ten years from vintage prior to opening, but it depends on how you like 'em. It is a blend of 40% Syrah, 33% Mourvedre, and 27% Grenache. Inky purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is great with black raspberries, boysenberries, plums, black cherries, char, black pepper and spice. Full bodied. A bit of black licorice with air. Medium tannins. On the palate, this is dense. Slight alcohol noticeable but that smooths out with about an hour of air. Lois of black and blue fruits with some black licorice on the finish. Long finish. This is great on it own and will take big fatty foods to match for now. It should still improve with cellaring, but this will drink well for another twelve to fifteen years.
