What to Expect

Rhone Blends are generally based on Grenache, though some blends may be predominantly Syrah or Mourvedre. The fact that these wines are blends gives the winemakers unusual flexibility in creating a finished wine. In the Southern Rhone Valley of France the styles can range from light, fruity, soft Cotes du Rhone to big, bold, age worthy Chateaunuef-du-pape. This blend is also very popular in Australia and the United States where they frequently go by the Moniker GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre) and exhibit the rich, bold fruit that both countries are famous for.

A wonderful, masterful wine. Both firm and opulent, with a nice dig at terroir as it brings out wet earth, mineral and an interesting chewy tannin structure. A high-voltage trip, with lots of fruit, spice and mocha.Best from 2003 through 2020. (16665 cases produced)
