Winemaker's Notes: This wine is truly another Victorious achievement for Crystal Basin Cellars. We performed many tasting trials over the 18 months our wines typically age and found the unique blend for this years wine to be 20% Mourvedre, 40% Syrah and 40% Grenache.
The Grenache floods your nasal passages with rich ripe strawberry while the mid palette is structured with the Mourvedre and its blueberry overtones and the Syrah's backbone continues this wine to a long lingering finish.
When you taste this wine, you will understand why Victorie is all too rare in France!
