Palate
The 2021 GSM is a blend of 40% Happy Canyon Mourvèdre, 40% Alisos Canyon Syrah, and 20% Willow Creek Grenache. All fruit was destemmed and whole berry fermented before aging in neutral oak for eleven months.
Rich aromas of potpourri, dusted rose, brambly fruit, toasted anise, earl grey tea, and forest floor. The palate has bright acidity, with flavors of blackberry, woody fruit, orange zest, pink peppercorn, pomegranate preserves, and sage brush, with mild spicy tannins that linger on the finish.
