Leal Vineyards 2004 "Threesome"

Wine Recommendation:
Leal 2004 "Threesome" Rhone Style Blend

A Note on the Threesome:
Threesome is Leal's risqué and delicious take on the marriage of three classic Rhone red varietals: Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre. The name reflects both the sexy nature of this wine and our philosophy to always challenge the existing status quo. Threesome combines intense fruit, exotic spice and silky texture to the extreme. A wine that makes you think.

Winemaker Tasting Notes:
Syrah contributes blueberry and dark chocolate characters combined with pepper, gaminess and structuring tannins. Grenache provides red fruit character and spiciness. Mourvèdre brings plum and licorice accents. Taken together, we achieved a sexy, juicy mouthfeel, with a luscious lingering finish.
