Brown brick red color. Aromas of boysenberry chutney, pickled beets and carrots, chocolate mint, and eucalyptus honeycomb with a satiny, vibrant, fruity medium-to-full body and a smooth, interesting, long blueberry cobbler, alpine herbal lozenge, and cedar pencil shavings finish with dusty, earthy tannins and moderate oak flavor. A rich and spicy GSM with nice layers of herbal undertones and a fine, balanced mouthfeel.

Serve in a Zinfandel Wine Glass
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.
