Other Notes
Dedicated to the memory of military companies who fought during Vietnam, this blend of 42% Grenache, 38% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre is soft, smoky and pleasurable for backyard enjoyment. Aromas of sandalwood, mesquite and red fruit lead into a cedar-kissed palate of smoked cherry - Wine Enthusiast
