"(Made with 100% whole clusters and entirely in neutral oak): Deep red. Exotic, expansive aromas of raspberry and cherry compote, potpourri and woodsmoke, with strong spicy lift. Lush and deeply pitched but energetic, offering intense red fruit and Asian spice flavors and showing no rough edges. Finishes sappy and long, echoing the red fruit notes and showing very suave, harmonious tannins. Already approachable, especially for fruit freaks. This wine is made of 50% grenache, which was drawn from the Castelli-Knight and Alder Springs vineyards, 30% mourvedre from the Bedrock vineyard and 20% syrah from Griffin's Lair and Castelli-Knight."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
A late-ripening red lending structure, dark fruit and gamey, meaty complexity to southern Rhone and Mediterranean blends.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
