title: Sarah's Vineyard 2010 Côte de Madone Red (Santa Clara Valley)
description: Hearty and earthy aromas of elderberry, beet juice, smashed plums, black tea, chopped herbs and turned loam hit the nose on this blend of 75% Grenache, 12% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, 2% Carignane and 1% Counoise. Coffee leads the palate, but the deep purple fruits of boysenberry and olallieberry flourish alongside black pepper, leather and a beef jerky character.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: Côte de Madone
