Syncline 2021 Subduction Red

The majority of the Syncline portfolio is focused on single site, single varietal wines. The Subduction Red is the exception – a judicious blend of 45% Mourvèdre, 30% Syrah, 14% Grenache, 9% Carignan and 2% Cinsault. A salute to Côtes du Rhône style blends, here it is given a northern Rhône sensibility, with more earthy, herbal, stem and skin flavors. It's wild and gamey, intense and compelling, with a wild presence that grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. 1575 cases; 13.6%; $30 (Columbia Valley) 93/100
