The 2016 Heart Stone Vineyard is a blend of 51% Grenache, 27% Syrah, 13% Mataro, 6% Petite Sirah and 3% Touriga Nacional, aged 21 months in various vessels, including 53% amphorae and 37% new oak. It has a medium ruby color with scents of blackcurrants, crushed black cherries, tar, dried herbs, tilled soil and red fruit sparks. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with jammy black fruits, with a touch of chew to the texture and just enough freshness, finishing a tad warm.
