Baiocchi Wines 2011 G minor Red (Fair Play)

Country: US / G minor
Variety: Grenache Blend California
Winery: Baiocchi Wines / Fair Play

A spicy blend of 44% Grenache, 32% Syrah and 24% Tempranillo, all grown in Fair Play, an increasingly interesting place for Rhône varieties. With soft swirls of fruity plum amid masculine tobacco and leather, there’s a lusciousness to the finish that’s appealing but could use a bit more of a kick.
