The 2022 Grenache/Mourvèdre/Syrah blend is the second installment of this classic Southern Rhône-inspired combination, co-fermented to showcase its seamless integration of flavors. Sourced from high-elevation vineyards in Mendocino with complex soils, the wine boasts concentration, elegance, and a beautifully open-knit personality. True to its roots, this blend avoids heavy oak influence or excessive alcohol, allowing the purity of the fruit and the spice-box character to shine through.

On the nose, it entices with aromas of spicy chai tea, zesty herbs, strawberry rhubarb pie, and a touch of black tar. The palate reveals wild red cherry, licorice, leather, and dried herbs, layered with savory earthy notes and a vibrant punch of California fruit. Medium-bodied and old-world in style, it achieves perfect balance with a lively, spicy finish.

Awarded 93 points by Vinous, Antonio Galloni describes it as "a gorgeous, super-expressive wine" where all the elements are beautifully balanced. This blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, and 10% Syrah pairs effortlessly with roast chicken, roasted butternut squash, or other hearty, savory dishes. Whether for dinner or a special occasion, this wine is a testament to the harmonious marriage of California’s boldness and Rhône’s finesse.
