Review:

The Byzance blend includes three of the major grapes found in the Southern Rhone Valley of France. Byzance is carefully crafted from the Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre. Deep Garnet in color, the wine has complex aromas of dried cherries, rose petals, bay leaf, white pepper and clove. Balanced for food, and age-ability, the wine has dark fruit and spice flavors which linger on the palate.

The Mourvedre grape a relative newcomer to Washington vineyards brings a certain rustic character to the wine, making it more reminiscent of a Chateauneuf du Pape.
