Veracity
2009 
36% Grenache, 32% Syrah, 32% Mourvedre
Aged for 20 months in 38% new French oak
Bottle Date: April 2011 / Release Date: Fall 2011
Elegant yet approachable, the 2009 Veracity will charm the Rhone fanatic as well as the curious newcomers. It is a pure and seamless ‘GSM’ blend with almost equal parts Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre that shows the brilliance and finesse of Rhone grapes from our Paderewski Vineyard. This wine possesses bright, aromatic and mouth-watering tangerine citrus notes that pop out of the glass and linger through the finish – most likely a product of its Grenache component. In addition, hints of rose petals, dried brush, red raspberry and vanilla are just a few more elements that combine in this velvety-textured Rhone drink. Drink now or with 5 to 10 years cellar age. 373 cases produced. WA 92pts; WS 93pts; RR 94pts; IWC 93pts
