| This wine is 53% Syrah, 27% MourvFdre and 20% Grenache. This is Qupe's 14th vintage of this wine and certainly one of the best. This is a Southern Rh(ne style blend, but Los Olivos is cooler than the Southern Rh(ne yielding a more elegant, balanced wine. The aroma shows a lot of berry and wild cherry with classic gaminess from the MourvFdre and uplifted fruit from the Grenache. The mouth feel is almost Pinot Noir like, with sweet, rich fruit and a snappy, clean finish. This wine should age gracefully for 5-10 years. |
