GSM – 2017; Llano Estacado Winery; Lubbock, Texas

This Texas GSM style blend packs a bit more Mourvèdre but comes out well balanced and delicious on all wine sensory fronts. The initial notes of strawberry and raspberry greet you with this red wine blend of Mourvèdre 49%, Grenache 24%, Syrah 17%, and Tannat 10%. You will notice the hue is predominantly purple with some nice legs for this 14.2% abv wine. Plums and blackberries will follow, and a bit of leather will round out the tasting profile.  This is a higher acid GSM, so this wine pairs nicely with good food.  Overall, it has great balance and soft tannins for this full-bodied wine. Enjoy!
