Tower 15, Paso Robles (California) 2010

Jun 16, 2012

By Gerald D. Boyd

 The Jetty is Tower 15’s GSM, a Rhône-style blend consisting mainly of Grenache and Syrah with a trace of Mourvedre, aged for 16 months in French oak barrels, 30% new.  It has a brilliant deep ruby color, forward black cherry nose with sweet spice notes, bright cherry-berry flavors, hints of spice and vanilla, 15.1% alcohol and good length with no heat.   The Jetty is a tasty drink-now red that will take an extra year or two of aging.
