Fall 2020 Shipment The 46 had been a consistent blend of 50% Grenache and 50% Syrah since its inaugural release in 2004. Starting in 2015, we began co-fermenting Grenache and Mourvedre when possible. The 46 has since become a GSM blend, with the Mourvedre component stemming from co-fermented lots; however, the Grenache and Syrah components always remain in balance with each other. Grenache keeps the wine light and bright with beautiful acidity and bright berry flavors, while Syrah increases the color, body, and impact, adding subtle flavors of smoke, game and spice.
The 46 was named after the Highway 46 west, off of which our small winery is nestled. It is also that name of the 46 defensive scheme that Terry played under Buddy Ryan for most of his football career.

The nose is pretty amazing, leather and vanilla, sounds weird but it’s really nice, it’s gots some good fruit with a long finish, excellent wine, take your time and enjoy.

Tasted at the winery in Paso. Intense black fruits and boysenberry on the nose. Tastes of black cherries and boysenberry preserves. Very nice balance with integrated tannins and a medium/long finish. Tasting very nice right now but should continue to evolve for many years to come.
