Nose
Notes of dry herbs and earth. Lively cherry & boysenberry fruit with gorgeous floral notes accented with baking spice.
Palate
This wine is soft and juicy but full of texture with a long lasting finish.
“Offers a ripe, full-throttle bouquet of blackberries, spiced plums, ground pepper, and bouquet garni-like aromas and flavors. Ripe, full-bodied, straight-up sexy and opulent, it's another sensational wine in this lineup.” - Jeb Dunnuck

Winemaking
Our Willow’s Cuvee is a gorgeous GSM blend. The Syrah, Mataro, and Tempranillo were co-fermented with 100% stem inclusion on the Syrah.
Six months after fermentation all varietals are blended together and barreled back down for the remaining 15 months.
Aging
The Grenache was fermented separately aged in neutral French to preserve the luscious red berry.
- 65% new French oak for 15 months.
Appearance
Ruby in color.
Food Pairing
Pairs wonderfully with a nicely seasoned ribeye or garlic and herb roasted lamb chops.
