Big Basin 2021 Gabilan Mountains GSM

Winery Notes:

The nose opens slowly, at first showing mostly spice, then aromas of plums and dark cherries with lots of glass swirling, as well as a mix of bramble berries from the large percentage of mourvedre. Additional aromas of licorice root and dark earth minerality. Typical for a young wine, the nose is a bit reticent, but the wine really shows when tasted and continued to open up with time in the glass. The attack is soft with sweet tannin that carries through the finish with flavors of satsuma plum and a complex mix of black and red fruits. High levels of dry extract give a chewy sensation to the mid palate, complimented by a wonderful freshness to the fruit flavors. '
