2012 Rendition
Lock Vineyard
Our Rendition of the traditional “GSM” Rhone-style blend continues to be a huge hit with our fans. Our 2012 Rendition is anchored with our phenomenal Lock Vineyard Syrah and the addition of Grenache and Mourvèdre brings out the best of these three varietals. The dark purple hue leads to an incredibly well-integrated wine. The complex nose entices you with aromas of red fruit and spice. These flavors continue on the palate with hints of plum, nutmeg and blackberry. Perfectly balanced and beautifully approachable from nose to finish!
