TASTING NOTE: "A light, fun expression of the vintage that was. Cinsault's light fragrance and crunchy acidity, Grenache donating volume and vibrant fruit, Syrah lends some darkness and spice, with Mourvedre to round it out with a little leather and gaminess. Serve at cellar temp in the cooler months for a fuller and spicier expression. Serve slightly chilled over the warmer months for a 12pm, 5pm and / or midnight elixir." Frederick Stevenson
- ABOUT THE WINE: The wine is a blend of 39% Cinsault, 33% Grenache, 19% Syrah, and 8% Mourvèdre. The Cinsault and Syrah come from Ahrens in Vine Vale, where the soil is a sandy layer over clay, while the Grenache and Mourvèdre are sourced from Hongell in Krondorf and Hoffmann in Ebenezer. The Grenache is picked early to retain acidity and whole-bunch fermented to give it upfront presence.
