with delicious texture and concentration, this lake county blend of grenache, syrah and mourvedre from the 3,000-foot-high fore family vineyard is intensely good, a deep reddish-purple blueberry-tinged infusion of earth and clove spice with dry, tight tannins and even a little lavender that'll linger. this one'll age, but is so convincingly reminiscent of the northern rhône right now, it'll be hard to wait.
