90 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2021 Red Wine is the sort of wine Joey Tensley excels with. Super ripe dark cherry, plum, licorice, cloves and mocha are all dialed up in this exuberant, fleshy Syrah/Grenache-based red. Drink: 2023-2025. (Sep 2023)"
90 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Last of the 2021s, the 2021 Red Wine is a blend of Syrah, Petite Sirah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre offering plenty of peppery red and black fruits as well as hints of game, iron, and leafy herbs. It’s nicely texture and balanced on the palate, with lot of fruit, some background tannins, and a clean finish. Another great value. It will stand beside just about any Côtes du Rhône out there. (8/29/22)"
The majority of the blend is Syrah but still has large amounts of Grenache, Mourvedre and a little white wine in to lift the nose. Savory and fruity is hard to accomplish but this wine delivers both. Next time you are having a family outing open this out by the BBQ or fire and watch it evolve over time. Unmistakable California fruit but nuances enough to make you think about the little things this wine offers.
