Hearty aromas of roasted and charred fruit meet with caramel, baking spice and violet on the nose of this blend of 58% Syrah, 20% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, 6% ZInfandel, 3% Petite Sirah and 3% Graciano. Warm maple and brown-sugar flavors show on the palate, where that dark roasted-fruit flavor picks up cappuccino spice.

The 2021 Red Beautiful Earth stains the glass with its inky dark red and purple hues. This is savory and seductive on the nose, with rich brown spice and grilled herbs accentuating briary wild berries. Silky and seamless on the palate, this impresses with its undeniable elegance and refinement with crisp mineral-laced black fruits and spice. This leaves the palate stained in blue and purple liquid florals and dusty tannins, with a bit of a bitter twang that punctures the experience quite nicely. The Red Beautiful Earth is a blend of 58% Syrah, 20% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, 6% Zinfandel, 3% Petite Sirah and 3% Graciano.

A cornucopia of red and black fruits, plus interesting notes of black pepper and spice on the nose. The palate brings jammy blackberry compote notes with ample wood spice. This New World, fruit-driven blend is warming and pleasing.
