2023 Greater Than Some GSM
"The 2022 ‘Greater Than Some’ come from the Olsen Vineyards and is equal parts Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache. Fresh sage and rich red and dark fruits parade with suggestions of chocolate. The palate is fresh and polished with medium to full-bodied red and dark fruits. Enjoy now and over the next eight plus years. Drink 2025-2032"
93 points Owen Bargreen
More than just three varietals blended together, the 2023 Greater Than Some (get it?) leads with muscular, white pepper rockin’ Mourvedre, is bolstered by silky deep earthy Syrah and detailed by whimsical Grenache. This baby is loaded with brutish blackberry, wild strawberry, roguish raspberry, Asian spices, a hint of sweet vanilla and a beautiful tension that promises to evolve over time…a long, long time.
Food pairing: Smoked Duck Breast with chipotle BBQ sauce or Puff Pastry with Ricotta and Figs
Movie Pairing: Big Fish
FOUNDERS’ NOTES:
Greater Than Some, a celebration of our partnership with Olsen Vineyards, is one of our most limited production wines. Its balance and dynamic tension reveal a wine that is much, much more than just an equation.
