title: Lone Madrone 2012 Points West Red (Paso Robles)
description: Neil Collins goes for the classic five Rhône grapes in this bottling, blending 48% Mourvèdre, 21% Syrah, 11% Grenache, 11% Cinsault and 9% Counoise to elicit aromas of dried fennel, fresh lavender, white pepper and boysenberry jam. Tight but juicy blueberry and elderberry fruit show on the palate, bound together by upright tannins and lifted with asphalt, black peppercorns and potpourri spice.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: Points West
