Dusty ruby color. Aromas of dried cranberry, coriander, and dill with a satiny, crisp, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a warming, breezy pickled strawberry and pink peppercorns finish with moderate oak flavor. A solid GSM that will pair effortlessly.

A GSM Red Blend is composed of the grapes Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre (hence the G, S, and M) that define the style of Cotes du Rhone wine. This blend typically exhibits ripe, bright fruit and an herbaciousness that showcases the varietals, and is one of the top wine blends of the world.
