A deep, smoky SMG – Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache – blend that I’ve been a fan of for some time. This vintage of the wine nails the black and blue fruit character that the best Rhône wines are known for, adding smoky oak spice in just the right amount to make for a seductive glass that you’ll love alongside roast beef or wild game. A Double Gold Award winner at the 2020 Toast of the Coast International Wine Competition.
