2019 Verah Rhône Style Red Blend Estate Dry Creek Valley
2019 Verah Rhône Style Red Blend Estate Dry Creek Valley
Tasting Notes
42% Grenache, 18% Mourvèdre, 14% Cinsaut, 13% Counoise, 7% Syrah, 6% Vaccarèse This blend of our favorite and unique Rhône varieties was really fun to put together. Challenging yet rewarding is the best way to put it. Notes of black, dark fruit and baking spices are upfront and center. A bit of garrigue, sweet earthy soil, and blackberry compote keep this wine in balance. Petrichor and a savory finish highlight the terroir of this fruit.Vineyard Designation
