Andrew Rich Glacial – 2018 (750ml)

Winemaker’s Notes: This non-traditional Rhone Blend is a tribute to the two distinct regions of the Rhone Valley that originally made Andrew Rich fall in love with wine. The Syrah is most prominent and adds dark fruit and spice like its Northern Rhone inspiration. The Mourvedre and Grenache bring bold and savory fruit almost in a Chateauneuf-du-Pape style.

Syrah 47.5%, Mourvedre 26.25%, Grenache 26.25%

Dense and full-bodied, this maintains a really nice sense of balance, with silky tannins that line a core of pretty red fruits, with tobacco leaf, smoke and scorched earth undertones.
