2020 Paper Street The Narrator
50% Grenache 37% Syrah, 13% Mourvèdre
Deep garnet in color, this Rhone blend has an essence of licorice and dried flowers on the nose. This wine opens with bright cherry chased with toasted nuts. It rolls into clove and dark chocolate on the mid palate, followed by deep notes of cranberry and pomegranate on the finish.

The 2020 Paper Street The Narrator wafts up with a seductive bouquet, blending crushed blackberries with a dusting of spice and sweet, minty herbs. This is round and supple on the palate, soothing with its ripe black fruits. Tantalizing acidity maintains a lovely freshness. It finishes spicy, long, lightly tannic and with a tart wild berry concentration.
