2016 PARABELLUM COULÉE

75% Syrah 25% Mourvèdre

Force Majeure Estate Vineyard, Red Mountain AVA

“The entry-level Rhône blend is the 2016 Parabellum Coulee, composed of 75% Syrah and 25% Mourvèdre brought up in 50% new French oak. It’s a beautifully pure, elegant wine that has terrific notes of blueberries, smoked herbs, hints of bacon fat, and spring flowers. It’s ripe and has a slightly more forward, seamless texture than the top cuvée, with remarkable purity and a great finish.”

– 95 points, Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate
