Crafted in Ballard Canyon, this 2023 red blend brings together 69% Grenache and 31% Syrah into a striking garnet pour. Aromas lean earthy and spiced, opening with cedar, leather, and cracked pepper before soft notes of chocolate raspberry mousse emerge. At 13% ABV, it carries a refined yet expressive balance.
On the palate, savory tones unfold with hints of bacon and pork fat layered against dark fruit and subtle sweetness. Best enjoyed slightly below room temperature, it pairs effortlessly with cedar plank salmon, cured pork, or rich cheeses, delivering a textured and memorable sip.
