2017 Trajectory
GSM- Grenache - Syrah - Mourvèdre / 94 Points
50% Grenache / 35% Syrah / 15% Mourvèdre
94 Points
Trajectory GSM is the flagship wine of Leverage. In the glass you're introduced to a deep ruby color with hints of blueberry, cocoa powder and plum. Lush black cherry pie crumble on the palate along with the chocolate covered blueberries, a vibrant youthful acid and hints of cherry cola . The finish combines sweet tobacco leaves and mulling spices as it lingers on your palate. In summary, this is my favorite Trajectory yet. It hits all my favorite componets and checks all the boxes of what I look for in a GSM from Paso Robles. I hope you enjoy it too.

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
