This GSM blend has a fragrance of toasted marshmallow and cream brûlée. Unexpected pops of bright cranberry fruit party on its opening palate. Its vibrant fruit and firm tannins are balanced by floral notes and minerality on the mid palate and a velvety 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.
