Syrah 35%, Mouvedre 25%, Merlot 10%, Petite Syrah 10%, central coast california. This is a full-bodied wine with medium+ ruby color, medium+ intensity on the nose (can smell this one from a distance lol). Nose/palate have red fruit, pork fat (which took me awhile to detect, I admit), oak, vanilla, coffee, cocoa. Medium+ acid, medium tannin. medium+ finish. This is an interesting wine, with good complexity at $20 price point. Optimal food pairing would be steak. I was having an italian pasta dish, and I think the wine was a bit too powerful. This wine has 15% ABV (!). Cork. Recommended!

A very strange blend which is a good wine but not for me.

Dark Fruit, smoky, bacon fat, palate is ripe and rich, some espresso. Juicy & hedonistic Cali rhone ranger with nice balance.

Epicurean Palette at Grounds for Sculpture (Grounds for Sculpture): Tasty. Red fruit, tannins, bacon. A blend of syrah, moveedre, grenache and more. Drinking well now. Great with the beef brisket with potatoes and vegetables.
