More Grenache-dominated, the 2019 Beguiling is based on 88% Grenache and 12% Syrah. Aged 19 months in a mix of French oak and concrete, it has a terrific perfume of candied strawberries, blackberries, violets, cracked pepper, and new leather. This carries to a full-bodied Grenache with plenty of savory tannins, a seamless, elegant texture, flawless balance, and a great finish.

A blend of 88% Grenache and 12% Syrah matured 19 months in 40% new French oak, the 2019 Beguiling has a pale ruby-purple color and fragrant wild berry aromas, with detailed nuances of earth, dried flowers and Angostura bitters. The palate is equally elegant, with dusty tannins, uplifting acidity and a flourish of spices on the very long finish.

A chewy and juicy red with blackberry and walnut aromas and flavors. Bright acidity. Tangy and fruity. Chalky finish. 88% grenache and 12% syrah. Drink or hold.
