Blend: 55% Grenache, 19% Syrah, 17% Mourvedre, 9% Cinsaut

The 2018 Sinister Hand is a lively, perfumed Washington State blendwith a generous fusion of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, and Cinsaut. The 2018 vintage is approachable while displaying undeniable complexity. The Grenache portion of the blend contributes cranberry and raspberry candied fruit notes, while the Syrah delivers darker fruits and savory characteristics. Mourvedre enhances the structure and richness of the body and provides delicate aromas of violets. Our partially carbonic macerated Cinsaut brings liveliness and tropical fruit flavors to the blend.

90 points - "Grenache makes up 55% of this wine, with the rest Syrah (19%), Mourvèdre (17%) and Cinsault. The aromas rise out of the glass, with notes of raspberry, flower, white pepper and orange slice. Light, elegant red fruit flavors follow, almost tasting like a Pinot Noir. It shows an appealing sense of balance." - Wine Enthusiast
