Rasa Vineyards - Qed Convergence 2018

69% Syrah, 15% Grenache, 12% Mourvedre, 4% Viognier The 2018 QED Convergence is ripe, structured and complex, with supple tannins and racy acidity. It is quite possibly the best QED Convgergence made thus far. The complex bouquet consists of blackberry, kirsch, bacon fat, viotlets, white pepper, and grilled herbs. Nuances of gravel and tar can also be noted. The palate is beautifully layered and complex: blackberry, huckleberry, kirsch dominate but notes of bacon fat, truffle mushroom, Asian spices, and grilled herbs support. The racy acidity and substantial yet refined tannins provide a nice counterpoint to the fruit vibrancy. The very long finish echoes tones of kirsch, huckleberr,y, cured meats and white pepper. The wine should reach maturity in 7-9 years and will hold for approximately 15+ years.
