Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
From the Library, the inaugural release of our popular GSM blend shows nuances of ripened blackberry followed by plum, mocha, cracked black pepper, minerals and polished tannins.
Production Notes
A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre that were all vinified individually, separated by both varietal as well as clone for a total of 7 different lots. The wine was blended after 18 months of barrel ageing in 100% Neutral French oak, aged another 6 months as the blend in the same oak, and finally aged a minimum 6 months in bottle before release.
Food Pairing Notes
Pairs well with pasta, poultry and meat.
