2006 Clairvoyant

55% Syrah, 33% Grenache, 12% Mourvedre

Yummy! Delicious! Outstanding! Just a few of the enthusiastic words we’ve heard to describe this blend over the years, and we couldn’t agree more. A favorite among the staff, there is something so satisfying about a wine that offers an intoxicating nose, a smooth palate, and a long smoky finish without any harsh edges or overly tart aspects. Based on the Chateuaneuf du Pape region of the southern Rhone Valley this blend is known for its perfect harmony of acidity and tannins offering a mouthful of berry flavors while also providing the toasty middle palate associated with the wonderful varietal Mourvedre. In the end, this wine is just lovely and perfect for an afternoon picnic in the rose garden with a bowl full of cherries to indulge.
