Solid gsm. Grenache dominant gives it a fruitier edge and softer tannic body. Lightly arromatic, brighter red fruit dominates, with a decent spice note in mid palette (Mourvedre is 27%, so go figure). This is an easy sipper and, to me, a little more like a typical French gsm. I think I prefer the Mourvedre dominant gsm blends coming out of Rotie, B. Leighton Cellars, and elsewhere, but i might just be weird. :)

A bit hot on the finish. Lots of new wood. Fruit is nice if not a bit jammy. Good tannin structure.

Syrah/Mourvèdre/Grenache. Disappointing for a blend - a bit sour? Worth a try again after aeration.
