Tasting notes
Bright medium ruby. Pure aromas of cassis, blackberry, violet, menthol and black olive tapenade. Juicy and quite primary, conveying a very dark, slightly medicinal character to its densely packed black fruit and licorice flavors. Finishes with a firm, broad dusting of tannins and excellent length.

Checking in as a blend of 40% Mourvedre, 35% Syrah and the balance Grenache, the 2014 Parvata (this is a Sanskrit word meaning rocks and stones) dishes up awesome notes of blueberries, liquid violets, barbecued meats and peppery spice to go with a full-bodied and rich yet still tight and focused style on the palate. This is a beautiful, incredibly pure GSM blend from winemaker Todd Alexander that will benefit from a year or two in bottle and keep for a decade. It's one of the best GSM blends coming out of Washington. Give it a decant if drinking anytime soon.
