Tasting notes
A blend of 38% Carignan, 23% Syrah, 18% Grenache, 10% Charbono, 10% Petite Sirah and 1% Mourvèdre, aged in larger, previously used barrels, the 2019 Ritual Heritage Blend offers up a complex herb-tinged mix of black cherries and blackberries. Full-bodied, rich and velvety, it delivers ample depth and tannins, with a long, earth and mocha-inflected finish.

An interesting blend of 38% Carignan, 23% Syrah, 18% Syrah, 10% Petite Sirah, and the rest Charbono and Mourvèdre, 2019 Ritual Red Blend is darker and peppery, with medium-bodied richness and depth and well as silky tannins. I love its overall balance, and it’s a singular effort, with a mix of darker cherry and berry fruits as well as violets, herbal, and floral nuances. It should drink well for at least 7-8 years.
