Limerick Lane Rocks and Fog Sonoma County 2021 Red Blend
A blend of 55% Grenache, 32% Mourvedre, 12% Syrah, and 1% Petit Syrah, it boasts a medium to dark purple-blue core with a fluorescent purple rim. Usually a Syrah-dominant blend, this one flips the script and goes heavy on the Grenache and Mourvedre, producing a slightly leaner and more peppery version of this wine. Crushed blueberry, spicy black cherry, ground black peppercorn, and powdered graphite are all present and perfectly aligned. Tannins are a touch chalky and will need a year or so to integrate, but it’s well-made and wonderfully balanced and should age very well for a decade or more with proper cellaring.
This wine exudes a stony, black pepper quality that beautifully interplays with its rich fruited yet lifted mouthfeel. The aromatics are captivating and expressive, with notes of raspberry, blackberry, tobacco, leather, plum, cherry, and earth. On the palate, this wine is focused, intense, and mouth-watering, showcasing its serious and contemplative nature. With medium tannins, fresh acidity, and a long finish, this Sonoma County appellation wine is deserving of time and age in the bottle. Get ready to experience a world-class wine that truly embodies the essence of its terroir.
