Mars Distillery

Keplinger

Mars Moon Mountain Red Blend 2013

I tried this right out of the bottle and was a little worried - super tight and one dimensional - but after two hours open it was singing and I was smiling. The nose has a more savory profile but the palate is full of bright red fruits with crushed gravel on the finish. Super smooth - the fruit and spice from the Grenache keeps the gaminess/savory flavors of the Syrah in check while the Mourvèdre adds richness. Helen Keplinger is a genius when it comes to these new world “old world blends” - I have yet to have one from her that hasn’t been fantastic. — 7 years ago

Either that's a massive 750, or a 1500 or you asked the POTUS to hold the bottle while you took your pic.
Nice notes, thanks.
