2017 AZIMUTH
48% Mourvèdre, 35% Syrah, 17% Grenache
Lovely garnet color and an alluring nose that will have your mind racing to wrap your head around all its goodness. Dried flowers, herbs de Provence and black truffle meet up with tasty fruit flavors of black currant, ripe figs and dried plums. Mouth-filling expressiveness and amazing texture the palate is alive with flavors of cured meats, spicy blueberry compote and subtle chalky minerality. This baby grabs your senses at all levels! Balanced and full of life this exquisite Rhône style blend drinks well now but will age for well over a decade. Drink now through 2030.
Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Master of The Wine Palate says, "The 2017 Azimuth is a blend of 48% Mourvedre, 17% Grenache, and 35% Syrah. Pale to medium garnet in color, it pops from the glass with notes of black raspberries, mulberries, and kirsch, followed by hints of licorice, crushed rocks, and wild sage. The full-bodied palate is rich and impactful with just enough freshness and a lightly chewy texture, finishing long and earthy." 95 Points
