The elegant 2003 Elevation Sensation Alta Mesa Vineyard is a blend of 49% Mourvedre, 49% Grenache, and 2% Syrah. Raspberry, blackberry, and cherry liqueur-like characteristics are present in this medium-bodied, finesse-styled effort that is reminiscent of a cool climate Chateauneuf du Pape (i.e., Rayas). Neither overblown nor big, it is a restrained yet authoritative red to drink over the next 3-4 years. Tel. (805) 714-5057
