Winery notes: The 2009 Fion Bainise is a California Rhone made for those who adore the wines of the Rhone Valley. Exotic and nuanced, this wine is perfumed with aromatics of dried lavender, wild game and burning embers, with rich crushed mineral undertones. The palate is elegant and bright, with silky tannins and broad mouthfeel. Notes of clove spice and strawberry give way to a long floral finish that is both satisfying and refreshing. This co-fermented 80% Grenache, 20% Syrah blend is drinking well on release, but will continue to develop and age gracefully for 7-10 years. ALCOHOL: 13.8%, PH: 3.8, PRODUCTION: 90 cases, RELEASE: March 12th, 2012.
