This wine is not flamboyant

Amevive, Santa Barbara County 'Ravie', 2023 VINTAGE WATCH or the occasional declassified barrelThis wine has fresh black plum and juicy blackberry flavours with a silky texture and a long, peppery finish. This is a familiar blend; Grenache, Syrah and Mouvedre, but showing restraint with modest alcohol levels. Californian fog helps to cool everything down in the evening, slowing down ripening and facilitating this measured style.
