2013 Ledge Vineyards Drive

Estate: Ledge Vineyards
Region: Willow Creek, Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, United States of America
Vineyards: James Berry and Messina Vineyards

Tasting Note:November 18, 2015

Wine was a light crimson red. We do love the nose. Starts off with some dark berries, such as blackberries. and a slight note of violets. A lot more dark fruits than the previous wines. Lots of blackberries and blueberries. More together than the Adams Ranch or James Berry. Moderate tannins (6/10) and moderate body with a moderate lingering finish. Second favorite of the wines today. This is mainly based off approachability. Time would still help this wine to fully integrate and could cellar for up to ten years.

A Rhone Blend of 45% Syrah, 30% Mourvedre and 25% Grenache.
