Nose

A swirl of the glass will reveal toasted nuts and chocolate with dried red and dark fruit.

Palate

Further study reveals an earthiness we attribute to the Mourvedre grown in the Rocks AVA. The finish is soft with rounded tannins.

Harvest

All of these wines were harvested at different times. Syrah is an early ripener whereas Grenache and Mourvedre tend to be later ripeners.

Syrah - 9/25

Mourvedre - 10/15

Grenache - 10/22
