This rich, full-bodied Rosé exhibits interesting herbaceous characteristics up-front, with strong flavors of boysenberry and red raspberry on the palate. Through the mid-palate a hint of black tar comes through and carries into the finish providing structure and a bit of spice in the aftertaste. ­ ­ Buy Now ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ 2018 L'Intruse Mourvedre ­ 90 points - Wine Enthusiast On the nose, blackberry fruit dominates with hints of truffles, tobacco, and underlying herbal notes. Black raspberry, currant, and charcoal unfold in layers of fruit and Asian spice on the palate with subtle tannins and firm acid which creates movement on the palate. The tannins carry this medium bodied, yet focused and aggressive wine into a finish with notes of red raspberry fruit, black pepper spice, and hints of toasted oak. ­ ­ Buy Now ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ 2018 Syrah Les Amours ­ 93 Points - Wine Enthusiast The nose, like the color, is dark with muted dark red and black fruit with an underlying layer of red fruit. Hints of white pepper spice and dark fruit carry from the nose into the palate which enters with concentrated, focused black cherry and blackberry fruit well integrated with firm, gripping tannins. The tannins provide a long, elegant finish rich with dark blackberry and dark plum fruit with hints of burnt bacon grease, pepper and toasted oak that linger in a long 45+ second finish. ­ Buy Now ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ NEW Wine Ratings! ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ 2018 Fore Family Syrah ­ 93 Points - Wine Enthusiast On the nose, the wine exhibits dark fruit flavors mixed with exotic black and red fruits and earthy mineral notes. On the palate, this wine explodes with dark blackberry and dark currant fruit leading to a full-body mouth experience. Firm tannins from the high-elevation fruit support the wine through the finish with lingering dark fruit with a hint of smoked meat and cedar. ­ ­ Buy Now ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ 2018 Wynonna's Vineyard Syrah ­ 96 points & Cellar Selection - Wine Enthusiast In the glass, the deep red color defines this wine on first sight. The nose shows the dominant dark red fruit of this wine with a high-tone pepper spice. On the palate, there is a burst of red, dark cherry fruit with hints of tobacco, spice, and pencil lead that pull through the mid-palate into a darker finish with a hint of blue fruit that lingers. ­ ­ Buy Now ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ ­ Give the Gift of Wine Club ­ Looking for a gift that keeps on giving?
