This wine is a blend of Grenache, Mourvedre, and Syrah, and is patterned after the wines of the Southern Rhone. The fruit is sourced from high altitude vineyards in El Dorado that range in elevation from 2,700 to 2,850 feet. Each lot of grapes adds a distinctly different element to the blend, and together create a wine of exceptional character and balance. 165 cases produced.
