Zaca Mesa Inceptive Estate Vineyard 2019 Santa Ynez Valley

Cépages: 57% Mourvèdre - 29% Grenache - 11% Syrah - 3% Cinsault

94 Points Wine Enthusiast: This blend of 57% Mourvèdre, 29% Grenache, 11% Syrah and 3% Cinsault is still amazingly fresh six years into its life. Black cherry, purple flower potpourri, tar and dried meat aromas lead from the nose into a zesty palate of black raspberry, boysenberry and white pepper.

Tasting Notes: Plush and elegant, with a deep dark-purple ruby core. The aromas are driven by deep red and black fruit, with violets, red roses, freshly cracked black pepper, and licorice. The palate is lush, creamy, and delicious, with plenty of dark fruit at the core. Silky tannins deliver a long-lasting finish
