B. Leighton Gratitude 2016

Beautiful, luscious and alive - Gratitude opens up to blackberry, violet and mint. Yet reaches back and flows with complex notes of lemon thyme, orange zest, morels and marjoram. Rich, yet elegant and lovely to drink. It finishes with crushed rock, white pepper and baking spices. Another wine to be thankful for.  Blend: 70% Mourvèdre, 25% Grenache, 5% Syrah.

Mourvèdre makes up 70% of this wine, with the rest Grenache and Syrah. The aromas aren't ready to reveal themselves on first pour, with aromas of raspberry, orange peel, smoked meat and herb emerging over time. The palate shows a lovely sense of purity and detail.
