A tribute to Mike Andrews’ father, this classic Rhone blend of Syrah, Grenache, and Viognier has a beautiful crimson color. Licorice, pepper, cassis, and ripe blackberries entice the palate, while supple tannins and smooth texture create a satisfying finish. Pair with marinated lamb or grilled red meats.
