Tasting Notes
Blend: 72% Grenache, 24% Syrah, 2% Mourvèdre, 1% Counoise, 1% Cinsault AVA: Santa Barbara County Vintage: We had a cool spring and mild summer temperatures that extended the growing season making it one of the longest growing seasons on record for us. Harvest began in the fall allowing for increased flavors due to hang time. The weather was mild, and we had a long timeframe in which to carefully pick for optimal flavors. Yields were slightly above average, but the weather cooperated permitting us to have pronounced flavors and aromatics. We are very happy with the quality of the wine and the “numbers” (pH, TA, Alc.) are perfect resulting in very balanced wines. Color: Salmon pink. Aroma: Bursting with enticing and fresh Summer aromas of watermelon, strawberry, passion fruit and citrus blossom. Palate: Vibrant and energetic on the palate. Good fruitiness and subtle hints of sweet tarts, candy cane, strawberry and other red fruits. Mouthwatering and plenty of verve.
