  Proof that beautifully balanced wines can be made in California, climate change be damned!
  
  Ripe but not to the point where the grapes were picked before phenolically ripe, this is where the deft hand of Steve Edmunds does his magic.

  8/28/2022 - timewithwine Likes this wine:

  This GSM blend (50%, 25%, 25% in this vintage) always speaks of village Rhone wines what with its earthy smokiness and balance. Notes of blackberry, orange zest, tobo, spice, and of course, smoke. Medium mouthfeel; none of the weightiness of many California GSM blends. Always a joy to drink. Some sediment. 13.1% alc. Originally pulled to pair with smoked duck breast (which worked well) until the maple glaze was added. Poured back and enjoyed the following evening with grilled beef tomahawk steaks. 08.28.22. Recommended.

  Still going strong on day 3. Steve Edmunds is a national treasure.

  Nice rhone-style wine with good mineral backbone and moderate acidity. Seems to be at peak.
