Reviewed July 2024The 2021 Parvata is 45% Mourvèdre, 40% Syrah, and the rest Grenache, all from the Red Mountain AVA. Its deep plum hue is followed by tight, reserved, yet incredibly promising notes of blackberries, fresh plums, smoked meat, and violets. This meaty, gamey beauty is medium to full-bodied and has fabulous purity of fruit and ultra-fine tannins. Give it 2-3 years and enjoy over the following 10-12+ years.

Vinous
Darkly floral, the 2021 Parvata is youthfully coy in the glass, with a bouquet of grilled herbs, ashen stones and crushed blackberries. It's elegant and refined with silken textural waves of ripe red and tart black fruits complemented by a flourish of violet inner florals. This is structured with edgy tannins contrasted by a bump of zesty acidity, finishing with a balsamic tinge. The 2021 Parvata is a blend of 46% Syrah, 39% Mourvèdre and 15% Grenache, all destemmed. It’s fantastic. (EG)

Decanter
Clean and lifted aromas of smoky rose petals, dried lavender and notes of hot ember. A GSM heavy on the M, this wine is Mourvédre dominant, with nearly equal parts Syrah and just 5% Grenache. It spends 18 months in just 15% new French oak. A palate chock full of sweet blackberries and plums, which are fleshy and ripe, flashing richness and depth. There are piquant notes of blood orange and mouthfuls of exotic brown spices; there's a savoury finish, and subtle acidity lingers. (CP)

This is an aromatic GSM blend that shows sage, roasted meat, whole peppercorns and ripe cherries on the nose. It’s so full of flavor, rich and spicy, full-bodied with super-fine tannins. Long and delicious. 46% syrah, 39% mourvedre and 15% grenache. Drink or hold. (CN)
