Here is our fourth edition of a special and always anticipated wine that a generous number of our membership family have given a great deal of positive feedback. This edition should create quite a stir as we think its the richest one to date. In the Chateauneuf region of the Rhone an annual classic blend is created made with a "trinity" of varietals, Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvédre. They are also allowed to use a selected number of other varietals but in small single digit percentages.
Our 2018 rendition uses only the three primary varietals. With 25% Grenache lending it’s soft yet spicy nuances, 50% Syrah bring the richness and its balance of the bolder side, and 25% Mourvedre for a bit of smoke and creamy fruit that takes the wine into a long and fruited finish. Aromas of macerated raspberries and spice are framed with black and red licorice, subtle hints of juniper, rhubarb, and new leather. These hints come to life on the palate along with supple yet firm tannins for that long dry finale. A great candidate for the Thanksgiving feast.....turkey never had it so good. Bottled July 17, 2020.
