Northwest Wine Report - 92 points, Critic’s Choice
This wine is two-thirds Grenache and one third Syrah. The former announces itself on the aromas, with focused notes of strawberry hard candy, red cherry, and herb, with Syrah providing blue fruit accents. Plump-feeling, achingly pure red and blue fruit flavors follow. A warm finish caps it off. Dee-licious. It’s a compelling example of the joys Quiddity has to offer: small production wines that provide purity, grace, and exceptional value.
