2010 B.M.T. MAGNUM Grenache/Syrah
Unlike the OGT, the blend for the BMT, named for our niece, Bailey Michelle Tensley, has changed. This year it is a complex blend of 25% Camp 4 Grenache; 25% Colson Canyon Grenache; 25% Rodney’s Vineyard Syrah; and 25% Colson Canyon and Tierra Alta Vineyard Syrahs combined. Whew. This ever-evolving blend brings to mind that Bailey herself, now a high-school senior, is evolving from a girl to a beautiful young woman. As always, the bright fruits and earthiness of the Grenache remind us of both Bailey’s elegant style and her down-to-earth good nature. The Syrahs in this wine bring in deep and complex notes of chocolate and violets and add a touch of velvet to the texture. What more could a girl ask for? The tannic structure and beautiful balance of this wine testify to its age-worthy nature. While this wine is enjoyable now we believe it will age beautifully over the next ten years.
Price: $85.00
Cellar Club Price: $72.25
