Description
The Gibson Block is the heart of the McDowell Valley AVA. It is planted with some of the oldest syrah and grenache in California. This ancient, dry-farmed mixed block next to the original Gibson Homestead has been producing grapes for over a hundred years. As a result of the vine age and miniscule yield, this wine is dark and intense. A heady mix of mulberry and lavender dominate the nose, with an edge of cinnamon stick. Broad, mouth-coating tannins are tethered to a core of smooth, sleek, powerful texture that’s balanced by focused acid. Delicious with hearty fare now and built to age.
