A beautiful wine that would stand nicely beside top quality Chateauneuf du Papes, the 2012 GSM (52% Grenache, 26% Syrah and 22% Mourvedre) was completely destemmed and spent 18 months in 67% new French oak (Syrah), 25% new French oak (Mourvedre) and 8% new (Grenache). It offers lots of wood smoke, plum, blackberry, olive and wild herbs characteristics in its plump, full-bodied, supple and sexy personality. While certainly a fruit-driven effort, it still has a pretty, elegant and lightly textured style and is always a joy to drink. Drink it anytime over the coming 7-8 years.

Tightly structured and tannic, with aromas of leather, herb and dried cherry leading to firm flavors that focus on cedar, smoked pepper and sage. Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah. Drink now through 2021. 330 cases made.??–TF??Region: California / Paso Robles Select to Add
