A thoroughly enjoyable blend of 60% Syrah, 30% Mourvedre and 10% Grenache. It’s on the savory side, with meat and leafy notes taking center stage, but like any good lead actor, not overshadowing the other players. Blackberry, tar and brown spice balance the lead well, and everything stays together through the long finish. Ledson’s on a roll right now. A Platinum Award-winner at the 2016 Sommelier Challenge International Wine Competition.
