I recently recommended the 2012 version of this wine, and I can say that the 2013 is a snootful of sexy blueberry and red fruit layered with pepper, flowers and a note of cola. The palate doesn’t disappoint, coming off much more dry and food oriented that the nose leads you to expect, That said, it’s not overly acidic, and is ready to enjoy now with a short decant. Another beauty! Contains 42% Grenache, 30% Mourvedre and 28% Syrah.
Anaba, Sonoma Valley (California) 2013
