Tasting notes
(45% grenache, 20% syrah, 19% mourvedre, 10% counoise and 6% cinsault): Deep red. Displays scents of smoky red and dark berries, cola, potpourri and game, with a spicy topnote contributing vibrancy and lift. Juicy and precise on the palate, offering gently sweet black raspberry and anise flavors, along with a hint of bitter chocolate. Finishes energetic and long, with sneaky tannins adding grip.

A Grenache-based red from El Dorado, the 2012 Five Thirteen Red Wine Blend hits the palate with juicy dark cherries, plums, savory herbs and spices. Floral, Grenache-inflected overtones appear on the succulent, explosive finish, adding further complexity. The Five Thirteen is an excellent choice for drinking over the next few years.
