Aromas of tart red plum, pomegranate and sagebrush show on the nose of this blend of 36% Grenache, 32% Tempranillo and 32% Mourvèdre. There is strong energy to the palate, where dark fruit flavors are spiced by cinnamon and sumac, making for a hearty wine that's balanced by strong acidity.

Moving to the reds, the 2016 Mad Crush is 36% Grenache, 32% Tempranillo, and 32% Mourvèdre that was brought up in 20% new 500-liter barrels. This medium ruby-colored effort offers terrific notes of kirsch, melted licorice, roasted herbs, and hints of chocolate. With a rich, powerful, sexy profile, sweet tannins, and tons of charm, it's ideal for drinking over the coming 6-7 years.
