This co-fermented Grenache and Mourvèdre from Red Mountain is a seamless union, where the ripe, seductive fruit of Grenache meets the darker, more brooding depth of Mourvèdre. The nose teases with blackberries, plums, and hints of leather, tobacco, and earth – each note playing its part in a perfectly balanced affair. On the palate, the vibrant fruit of Grenache gives way to Mourvèdre’s savory grip, with layers of dark chocolate, wild herbs, and a soft smokiness. The tannins are smooth yet firm, creating a harmonious structure that lingers with a touch of spice and minerality. This wine is the perfect marriage of fruit and earth, light and dark – an unforgettable, sensual experience.

On the nose this takes on layers of dark currants and scorched earth with fresh sage and Mandarin orange zest. The palate walks a tightrope between smoked meats and charcuterie alongside bright citrus zest, wild strawberry, and cran-pomegranate flavors.
