GSM Blend/Rhone Blend

Just a fantastic Rosee.  It is a blend of 53% Syrah, 42% Grenache, and 5% Mourvedre.  Deep salmon pink in color, clear and bright.  The nose has black  cherries, strawberries, orange peel and slight almonds.  Full bodied.  Light tannins.  Great energy.  Wonderful texture. On the palate, this is delicious.  It is also complex. Flavors of raspberries, cherries and slight orange with a bit of spice and slight carob powder.  Long finish.  This is great on its own and will work with a wide variety of foods.  It worked great with grilled Zucchini.  Drink over the next three to five years.  

In a recent blind tasting of Languedoc wines, this was the clear winner.  It is a blend of 60% Syrah, 30% Grenache and 10% Mourvedre.  Purple in color, clear and bright.  The nose has black cherries, black raspberries, spice, slight black olives and strawberries.  Medium bodied.  Medium tannins.  Good balance.  On the palate, this is tasty with flavors of black cherries and black raspberries along with a bit of spice and pepper.  Nice finish.  This drinks well on its own but better with food.  This would be a nice wine with grilled meats or fowl.  Drink over the next few years.  

This is a blend of 55% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 15% Merlot, and 10% Marselan from the Rhone Valley, France.  Purple in color, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose has cherries, some black raspberries, slight olives and spice.  Soft texture.  Medium bodied.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, red fruits with some spice/black pepper.  Moderate finish.  This drinks well on its own and will work with many foods.  The Kermit Lynch website suggest fried chicken and that sounds like a good match.  Drink over the next three to five years.
