" The 2021 Nemesis is a blend of 77% Syrah, 15% Grenache and 8% Mourvèdre. It has deep aromas of maraschino cherries, allspice, cured tobacco, blood orange and rooibos tea leaves. The medium-bodied palate derives power from highly concentrated, layered flavors. It has a finely chalky frame, energetic acidity and a very long, nuanced finish. It's delicious now but will gain complexity in bottle over the next 10-15 years."
