2021 Grenache Syrah Mourvèdre | Alder Springs Mendocino

This blend of cool climate Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre beckons with distinct pepper spice and black fruit on the nose. At first sip, flavors of blackberries and plums with tart cherries, followed by a rounded body of stem and grape skin tannins, perfectly balanced with a little peppercorn on the tail. Very nuanced example of this classic style and develops a layered complexity as it warms.

Versatile with food. Try with grilled meats such as satay, kalbi or steak. A good companion to duck, lamb, or mutton dishes even with heavier sauces. Also pair with ham or salami.
