2019 Enkidu “Humbaba” Red Rhone Grape Blend Sonoma-Lake

San Francisco Wine Panel Score 93 Points
Spicy, zesty, juicy and generous, the nose of this forthcoming Rhone-style blend melds focused aromas of blackberry, pomegranate syrup, blueberry, dark plum galette, black peppercorn, bouillon, dark pipe tobacco and damp forest earth into a balanced medley. It proves ripe and gutsy on the palate and reveals gently gripping tannins beneath sweet-natured fruit that mirrors the nose. Dinner worthy and lingering, the flavors turn supple as the wine airs. The lasting memory is of rich blue fruit, violet pastilles and black peppercorn. A blend of 45% Syrah, 45% Petite Sirah, 8% Grenache and 2% Mourvedre. 250 cases produced.
