2021 Terroir Collection GSC
This is our fifth release of this Southern Rhone Valley-inspired red
wine: Châteauneuf-du-Pape meets the New World! This unique red
blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Counoise is really spectacular!
At first glance, the vibrant and brilliant blueish, ruby red color shines
in your glass. The nose is both full and rich yet at the same time
delicate and generous. Seductive aromas of ripe strawberries, dark
cherries, black licorice, fennel and warm spices like Chinese five
spice and cardamom jump from the glass.
On the palate the wine is rich, ripe and full of dark red and black
berries. A racy acidity frames the wine nicely showing it great ageing
potential. We recommend decanting and aerating this wine young
(the next year or so) and then enjoy seeing it age gracefully into the
future.
GSC has quickly become one of our signature wines– and a favorite
among our members–given its unique and individualistic character. A
first of its kind in California!
