Becoming a little less big and fruity and instead gaining a bit of finesse. Still well balanced. Don't get me wrong, its still fruity with some nice earthy notes. Its just starting to settle down a bit.

(Saviah Cellars GSM Elephant Mountain Red Wine Yakima Valley) An aromatically appealing wine with wild strawberry, mocha, mineral notes, and peppery spices. The palate is soft and pillowy in feel with a lingering finish with a touch of bitterness providing some distraction but not enough to detract from an otherwise beautiful wine. 44% Grenache, 28% Syrah, and 28% Mourvedre. Aged 20 months in French oak (14% new). 14.3% alcohol. 168 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.

Big but well balanced. Cherry, dark red fruit, and earthy notes with hints of chocolate and leather.

Huge yummy fruit up front, some pepper in the middle, and a slightly short finish.
