Wonderful nose of dark fruits with a slight hint of cedar. Tastes of blackberries, boysenberries, and black cherries with a little red meat thrown in on the back palate. Big fruit on this one with mellowed tannins and a medium finish. Drinking perfectly right now.

Intoxicating and distinct nose but unable to place what is prominent. Mouth-watering red fruit excites the palate leading to a chalky dry finish. Nicely balanced.

73% Grenache/23% Syrah/4% Mourvedre. Big wine here with a fruit profile of red and black cherries and plums. Earthy core with notes of leather, spice, and layers of savory elements. Well rounded wine with firm acidity right now, good long finish. Probably still needs a year or two to settle down but this is drinking well.

Consistency is the theme with Terry Hoage’s reds, particularly his Syrah. This GSM is 48% Grenache, 40% Syrah and 12% Mourvèdre.
Drank after a 2 hr decant and shows really well. Beautifully balanced with red fruit of the Grenache the spiciness of the Syrah to add layering and the earthiness did the Mourvèdre to give it depth.
Still young and will be better in 2-3 years but not half bad now.

I enjoyed this bottle thoroughly. There is a ton of fruit on the palate with a nice backbone. blueberry and blackberry flavors with a nice finish. Good stuff.
