Dark ruby color, dried blackberry aroma and flavor. Fruity jam flavor. Slight oakiness. Dry flavor with smoother aftertaste, but still noticeable.

I wasn’t a huge fan of this red, as it was quite tart upon first sip. I’m getting undertones of blackberry and plum, and as it has been allowed to sit out for around 10-15 minutes I’m actually noticing an ease in harshness at the finish of the sip.

Somewhat light at first but can still feel the tannins. Has notes of coffee and plum. Has more of a general taste to it and is full body.

dark red (orangey undertones- lighter than deep red) fruity; red and dark, black currant forward and possibly raspberry or cherry notes at the end; maybe dried fruits, maybe cloves- something earthy

Sweet wine, deeper in color, hints of black current and raspberry, red berry dominant, smooth finish, very complex wine, not as expected

2018 Classic GSM blend: Grenache (Spain), Syrah (rhóne), marsanne
Smell: Smoke mixed with strong hints of oak, cherry and tobacco
Taste: a good mix of plum, cherry and blackberry. Off dry red with some acidity and low tannins, with a medium body.
Appearance: consistent clarity with a deep garnet intense color.
Conclusion: a good GSM blend with a medium strong finish. Throughly enjoyed this wine.
