The 2015 Artist Series is a blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre, sporting a medium garnet-purple color and nose of lifted cherries, black raspberries, black pepper, spice box and earth. Medium to full-bodied, it offers lovely rounded tannins and great freshness in the mouth with tons of fruit and great persistence.

There's a lot of fresh fruit, caramel, cola and Dr. Pepper spice to the nose of this playful blend of 34% Grenache, 33% Syrah and 33% Mourvèdre, complete with label art by Alex Gardner. Tangy purple flowers of lavender and potpourri show on the sip along with tart plum fruit and white-pepper dust.
