description: Sirocco is 46% Grenache, 31% Mourvèdre, 15% Syrah, 4% Counoise and 4% Cinsault—is anyone else in Washington doing such complex Rhône blends? The model, of course, is Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and this is a worthy New World take on that wine. Still youthful and very spicy, with tight red fruits, firm tannins, and alcohol pushing 15%, it needs more bottle age and/or decanting to smooth out.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: Sirocco
