Review:

Strawberry and spice, rubbed sage and lavender. Damson plum and cherry nose, aromas of incense, cocoa bean, and brambles. Ripe and chewy, medium bodied.

2007 Vintage Tasting Notes

Strawberry spice, a slurpable, soft red usually blended into Syrah and other Rhone grapes. Want to conduct a fascinating tasting? Try bottles of McCrea's Counoiuse, Mourvedre, Grenache, Viognier and Syrah with a bottle of McCrea's blend, Sirocco, and a bottle or two of Chateneuf du Pape or other Southern Rhone blends. You can experience the grapes, one by one, and then try how they tasted blended together. Take apart a classic wine style, discover its components, and compare Doug's pioneering "New World Northwest" Rhone wine to the source.
