2000 Granite Crown

"The unusually accessible Renaissance 2000 Sierra Foothills North Yuba Vin de Terroir Granite Crown, a refined blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot."

"Dark garnet in the glass, this blend of Syrah and Cabernet has an alluring nose of smoked meat and black fruits. In the mouth it is rich and complex, through without a hint of sweetness or jammyness as it unloads flavors of cassis, chocolate, and blackberries. Velvety, dusty tannins play counterpoint to great acidity to make this an extremely satisfying wine."
