Limerick Lane 2013 Hail Mary Syrah-Grenache (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Syrah-Grenache
Winery: Limerick Lane / Hail Mary

This mostly Syrah blends in 6% Grenache, combining the two grapes from the property’s estate into an opaque, juicy expression of black licorice, tar, cigar, grilled mushrooms atop a meaty steak and plenty of black pepper. Big and bold in every sense of the word, it retains just enough acidity to maintain an inviting nature and beguiling floral backbone.
