2022 Le Dessein
Our 2022 Le Dessein allows the classic marriage of Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah to shine with bright red fruit and warm spices. The nose is bright, opening with a burst of pomegranate and strawberry-rhubarb aromas. Syrah contributes sweet spices like cinnamon and clove, while the Mourvèdre brings big brambly flavors. The Grenache brightens the blend and is responsible for candied red fruit flavors. The balance between these three varietals is displayed on the palate, as the broad yet velvety structure combines effortlessly with the lively acidity to give the wine length and continued bursts of flavor. This wine is energetic and enjoyable in its youth, and it can also cellar gracefully for 8+ years.
