I have to admit I am always a sucker for the GSM (Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre). I also tend to really like wine from Washington. This wine is both and I love it. The blend is 62% Grenache, 35% Syrah, 3% Mourvedre. This is classic Southern Rhone, another of my favorites. This wine smells great, smokey from the Syrah, great berry fruit from the Grenache and Mourvedre. On the palate it has wonderful red berry fruit, like cherry and strawberry. This one tastes really good now, but in a year or so it will be awesome. This wine retails for 30 dollars which for what you get is a great price. This is a great food wine as well as one for the cellar. I think this wine will evolve over the next couple of years into a great wine.
