Jamie Slone Wines 2014 Lozier Red (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / Lozier
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend California
Winery: Jamie Slone Wines / Santa Ynez Valley

This blend of 36.5% Syrah, 32% Mourvèdre and 31.5% Grenache (the Syrah and Grenache were co-fermented) produces aromas of tart berry, tar, anise and a touch of raw lamb on the nose. The palate is strongly driven by a pencil-lead quality and framed by a nicely rising acidity, offering tart cranberry fruit.
