2021 | Force Majeure 'Parvata' | Red Mountain Vernatsch chopped hazelnut and poached peachThe GSM blend of the estate, the 2021 Parvata is deep ruby hued and offers a deeper blackberry, almost blue fruited style as well as lots of violets, scorched earth, and bouquet garni driven aromatics. It's another gorgeous, seamless, full bodied, textured wine from this estate. The blend is 46% Syrah, 39% Mourvedre, and 15% Grenache, all from the estate vineyard on Red Mountain, which will spend 18 months in just 15% new French oak. 96 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
