Garnet color. Aromas and flavors of purple flowers, black fruit, and dark chocolate and leather with a round, crisp, dryish medium-to-full body and a warming, delightful, medium-length finish revealing accents of ripe black fruits, cherry and currants, and chocolate and coconut with medium, coating tannins and moderate oak flavor. A riper and more stylized polished, oaky version of a Southern Rhone GSM.

A GSM Red Blend is composed of the grapes Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre (hence the G, S, and M) that define the style of Cotes du Rhone wine. This blend typically exhibits ripe, bright fruit and an herbaciousness that showcases the varietals, and is one of the top wine blends of the world.
