Tasting notes
A southern Rhone blend of 69% Grenache, 21% Mourvedre, and 10% Counoise, the 2009 Wind Gap Wines Orra sports an earthy profile to go with loads of black pepper, black cherry, earth, and crushed stone like qualities, as well as a medium-bodied, lean, and structured palate. There's good concentration and depth here, yet not a single ounce of fat. Given the structure that shows on the finish, this should age gracefully for a decade.

(69% grenache, 21% mourvedre and 10% counoise; no new oak): Medium red. Pungent, spice-accented aromas of peppery red berries, cherry, blood orange and herbs are lifted by a floral topnote. Sappy and focused, with a peppery quality giving lift to its bitter red fruit flavors. Possesses very good mid-palate heft, with firm tannins adding shape and grip to the persistent finish.
