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.

Winemakers Notes

"91-WS Smooth and polished, with a lovely core of black cherry and currant fruit, dripping with dark chocolate and smoky spice notes as the finish goes on. Impressive for its balance and length. Drink now through 2014. Smart Buy."" 90-RP ""The 2004 GSM Stonehorse (68% Grenache from 70-year-old vines, 27% Shiraz from 40-year-old vines, and 5% Mourvedre from 7-year-old vines) was aged 12 months in old French and American wood. Revealing a Gigondas / Chateauneuf du Pape-like personality, it is a tasty, medium-bodied red offering loads of pepper, earth, and garrigue read more...notes intertwined with black cherries, blueberries, plums, and a hint of fennel. This complex, ripe, round 2004 should drink well for 3-5 years."" """    (hide)
