Country: US / Mistral
Variety: G-S-M Oregon
Winery: Jaxon / Rogue Valley
The Mistral blend was changed in 2013 to a more traditional GSM—63% Grenache, 32% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre, aged 18 months in neutral French oak. Firm and detailed, its accents include iron filings, licorice and sweet baking spices, hung on cranberry and plum fruit. Overall it’s a tasty effort drinking well right now.
