Tasting Notes
Opening in the glass with aromas of cocoa powder, blackberry cobbler, cinnamon, vanilla, mulberry pie, and white pepper, this blend develops further as you sip. In the mouth you are greeted by delicate yet slightly drying tannins, blackberry and mulberry fruit notes, a touch of leather, smooth toasty oak, and savory spice rack, culminating in a lingering finish full of dark fruit.

Our inspiration for GSM comes from the Rhône valley of southern France. We cultivate one of the few blocks of Syrah in the Santa Lucia Highlands, and we farm the only productive Grenache. Our estate grown GSM combines the richness and depth of the Santa Lucia Highlands while honoring the regal heritage of the Rhône blends. This GSM is 57% Grenache, 39% Syrah and 4% Mourvèdre.
