2023 River Trace GSM
TASTING NOTES
The 2023 Meadowcroft River Trace GSM is a bold yet approachable Rhône-style blend of 10% Grenache, 80% Syrah, and 10% Mourvèdre. Aromas of toasty oak, blackberry, blueberry, and vanilla rise from the glass with inviting warmth. On the palate, flavors of plum, blueberry, and dark black fruit unfold alongside subtle smoky notes and hints of dark chocolate. Medium-soft tannins and a smooth, lingering mouthfeel create a balanced and satisfying finish.
SUGGESTED FOOD PAIRINGS
This Syrah-driven GSM pairs beautifully with smoky, savory dishes and grilled meats. Enjoy it with grilled tri-tip and rosemary potatoes, slow-smoked barbecue ribs, or lamb burgers topped with caramelized onions and blue cheese. The wine also complements wild mushroom risotto, roasted portobello flatbread, or aged cheeses like Gouda and Manchego.
