2016 Trajectory 1.5L Magnum
45% Grenache / 35% Syrah / 20% Mourvèdre
Trajectory GSM is the flagship wine of Leverage. Josh Raynolds notes Trajectory shows mineral-accented hints of black raspberry and cherry liqueur aromas, complemented by baking spices, woodsmoke and pungent flowers. Supple in texture and impressively concentrated, offering appealingly sweet dark berry, cherry liqueur and violet pastille flavors and building spiciness. Plush yet lively in character, with an emphatic floral note on the clinging finish, which features fine-grained, slow-building tannins.

Other Notes
"The 2016 Trajectory is serious stuff and checks in as 45% Grenache, 35% Syrah, and 20% Mourvèdre that was brought up in 25% new 400-liter barrels. Tons of bacon fat, tapenade, truffles, and spiced dark fruits emerge from this medium to full-bodied blend. It’s ripe, sexy and yet elegant on the palate, with no hard edges. It’s more than worth your time and money." - Jeb Dunnuck, November 2018
