Refugio Ranch Vineyards Escondrijo 2017
Capturing beautifully the depth of blends, this layered offering of Escondrijo (50% Grenache, 43% Syrah, 7% Petite Sirah) provides black raspberry, blueberry, dried strawberry, and fig paste coupled with more savory notes of hoisin, cracked pepper, and charcuterie, with lovely notes of violet, hibiscus, and baking spices mingling throughout. The wine is powerful with restraint, has a beautifully balanced mouthfeel with sweet tannins and a solid backbone of structure.

Wine Enthusiast – “Deliciously gamy on the nose, this blend of 50% Grenache, 43% Syrah and 7% Petite Sirah offers aromas of roasted pork shank in black-raspberry sauce, dusted by white pepper and rosemary. The palate is quite savory as well, with roasted lamb in a boysenberry, fennel and black-pepper stew.” (94 Pts)
