2018 Audacious
31% Grenache, 26% Carignan, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Syrah
Audacious boasts a dark side everyone has come to know and love. Rich on the nose, it unveils chocolate, caramel and sawdust beneath a powerful exterior. Grenache’s zippy bright fruit launches through wet riverbed rock and limestone coolness. Carignan’s fiery persona adds spice and life, while Cabernet and Syrah are trusted to provide heavy, dark fruit like plum and blackberry along with beautiful mint and eucalyptus. Collectively, this chorus provides a broad mouthfeel and singing tannin structure.

2018 Beguiling
85% Grenache, 15% Syrah
The lifted aromatics of this wine resemble the beautiful sound of a violin. Its nose is delicately wound around a core of concentrated red fruit characteristics such as cranberry, red currants and raspberry. White flower blossom, wet stone, graphite and juicy pomegranate play in unison with subtle notes of caramel popcorn, black tea and rich, fresh earth. The palate displays a harmonic balancing act with beautiful grip, yet plenty of brightness. This wine possesses a true focus that is playful and lively, leading into a cascading, soft, and generous finish.

2018 Beyond Category
50% Tempranillo, 24% Grenache, 21% Graciano, 5% Carignan
Bringing a seductively playful attitude to the table, this Rioja inspired beauty is anything but laid back. The breadth of dense, dark fruit, coupled with meatiness, spice and clove with just a hint of a soy, builds a textural character on the nose that is accentuated on the palate. A brambly blackberry bush provided by Graciano supports the texture and determination of the Tempranillo with an elegant freshness and tension. This full bodied beauty will be sure to bring the party to any table.

2018 Sagacious
35% Grenache, 34% Syrah, 31% Mourvèdre
Sweet earth spice and dried herbs billow under a foggy ocean air-like mist. Its saline brilliance moves to dark fruit and picks up the essence of a coastal, forest trail lined in raspberry and blackberry bushes. This wine comes alive and engulfs the palate with a complex array of spice and dried herbs, leading to a freshness that eventually finishes opulent and slightly puckering. Our beloved GSM, will not only stop you in your tracks based on its vibrant color, but also the journey it takes you on, upon first sip.

2018 Aspire
84% Syrah, 16% Grenache
A blend of our two most acclaimed varieties, Syrah and Grenache thoughtfully come together to feature a well-crafted, powerful wine with tremendous finesse and elegance. Embark on a voyage of beautiful clove and pepper along with a gamey, almost cured meat decadence on the palate. A warmth and depth that can only be displayed by our Syrah pairs with a touch of Grenache providing a beautiful lift, while well-integrated oak provides a touch of vanillin; subtle yet present and endlessly alluring.
