Mounts 2014 Verah Red (Dry Creek Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
Winery: Mounts / Verah

This is a big, brawny expression of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Counoise, the Grenache playing the dominant role in the blend. It coats the palate in dense raspberry and blueberry fruit, seasoned with pepper and nutmeg. A leathery touch to the texture and lifted acidity keeps it from feeling heavy or overdone.
