Winemaker’s Notes:

Our 2005 GSM Red is a real Southern Rhône Valley-style blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. It offers creamy strawberry and raspberry preserve aromas with complementary spearmint, licorice, pepper, and vanilla cream scents. Rich, juicy and supple on the palate, its bright, spicy, red-fruit flavors are supported by ripe tannins and sweet oak tones, making this savory red the perfect accompaniment to classic Mediterranean fare. Delicious now, it will age well in the bottle for another 2-3 years.
