Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, August 9, 2022 - Caveat: This is a delayed post by several days.

A rich and nuanced wine, all at once. Despite the blend percentage, this drinks like a rich Syrah more so than the Grenache of which it is primarily composed. A surprising, spicy garrigue note complements the dark, lush, plummy profile. Cassis and mulberry arise from time to time. Low acidity, but an excessively high EtOH level distracts. Tannins are lush and velvety, but there is still some cellar time left to play with. I recommend opening early and, if practicable, decanting before drinking. This will stand up to and complement highly spiced Mediterranean and Middle Eastern dishes from North Africa, Greece, Turkey, Georgia, etc.
