Great Basin Winery, California (United States) 2017

Mar 18, 2020

By Rich Cook

 A “Super Tuscan”-styled blend that shows a fruit selection you wouldn’t expect from a statewide appellation.  Pure cherry fruit gets a nice complexity boost from Syrah and Petite Sirah that tinge the palate with blue fruit and soft tarry notes.  Subtle oak spice, soft vanilla and supple grip keep the finish pumping flavors.  Great stuff!   A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Monterey International Wine Competition.
