description: The 2009 Devotion credits the exact same blend of grapes and vineyards as the 2008—41% Syrah (Morrison Lane Vineyard), 30% Mourvèdre (Heart of the Hill Vineyard), and 29% Grenache (Destiny Ridge Vineyard). Yet it does not quite measure up to that superior vintage. It may be a passing stage, but the engaging, tart, wild-berry flavors on entry quickly drop off on the midpalate, finishing somewhat diffuse. Two bottles tasted with similar results.
variety: Rhône-style Red Blend
designation: Devotion
