This is a blend of 48% Syrah, 30% Grenache, and 22% Mourvedre from the west side of Paso Robles.  Inky purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is deep with black raspberries, roasted meats, roasted herbs, black pepper and earthiness.  Full bodied.  Medium tannins.  Juicy acidity.  On the palate, this is delicious.  Deep.  flavors of black raspberries, slight blueberries, char, slight dark chocolate and earthiness.  Long finish.  This is delicious on its own and will work with bigger foods.  It will work well with Koren BBQ.  Drink over the next ten to twenty years.

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.
