Wine

The “Fundamental” red is a nuanced and complex blend of Syrah, Petite Sirah, Mourvedre, Grenache and Viognier. A full-bodied wine that will easily compete with any wine to be found at this price point, this blend is loaded with character and offers rich notes of blackberries, smoked meats, and espresso. Drink the approachable wine now or age it over the next five years.

The deep rich color of this wine indicates its intensity. The nose is full of ripe plum and dark cherries with a hint of white pepper and sweet vanillin. The flavors carry onto the palate which is full of big soft fruit, but balanced by an elegant oak structure and natural acid, resulting in a rich wine with a complex and fresh structure.

The fragrance is saturated with brooding plum red fruits, dark cherries and perfumed berries. This is a defined wine showing the richness and concentration of the vintage. The palate is richly textured, fleshy, round and supple, with a red juiciness that merges into velvety tannins. Enjoy with a pork pie or miso roasted eggplant with tomatoes, dill, mint and black vinegar.

The color of finely polished mahogany, this is a luxurious Syrah to enjoy over and over. Sweet licorice and white pepper are what you notice first followed by smoky bacon and candied walnuts. The flavors on this wine are driven by a sarsaparilla backbone along with undertones of espresso and boysenberry.
