The wines
3 lots enrolling at Texas Hill Country.

- grilled brisket, chorizo, manchego

1.9 btl / vine
$72/vine
GSM Rhône Blend
45% Grenache · 35% Mourvèdre · 20% Syrah
A Texas GSM is generous and spicy, with raspberry and black cherry over garrigue and pepper and soft, round tannins.
- Pairs with
- barbecue ribs, lamb kebabs, roasted peppers
- Serve
- Serve 16-17°C; little decanting needed for this generous blend.
