The Sextant Passage GSM 2013 is a gorgeous red wine that shows impeccable balance and flavor. A blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre grapes, this wine benefits from the unique characters of all three. Fresh notes of cloves, brambles, and nutmeg mingle with juicy raspberry, strawberry, and cassis. The texture is excellent, with supple tannins and a light-on-its-feet acidity. The finish is long and elegant.
 
Enjoy this red wine with a variety of meals and good company. It is enjoyable now and can cellar through 2022.
