Memaloose Mistral Ranch

Bold dark fruit up front with a background of dried herb, earth, and baking spices. Give it plenty of air, and it is marginally improved the next day. Interesting to try a Washington State Syrah-Grenache blend with at least some effort at restraint. The alcohol levels and ripeness are expected with the style, but not over the top. From Seifert & Jones.

63% Syrah, 37% Grenache. Dusty strawberries, black pepper, and earth on the nose. Medium bodied, dry, and relatively austere in the mouth. Tart red fruits and some spice. Finishes dry.
