Tasting notes
The 2015 Mars is a GSM blend that’s heavy on the Grenache, with 52% Grenache, 34% Syrah, and 14% Mourvèdre. Its deep purple/plum color is followed by a meaty, spicy, full-bodied red that boasts loads of kirsch and blackberry fruit to go with lots of spice cabinet, cumin, and dried earth-like nuances. Upfront, loaded with fruit, and beautifully complex, drink it anytime over the coming 6-8 years.

The 2015 Mars is a Grenache-based blend from a site on Moon Mountain, is silky, nuanced and medium in body. Succulent red berry fruit, tobacco, cedar, spice and leather add aromatic nuance and complexity. This is one of the more mid-weight, restrained wines in Helen Keplinger's range. At times, the alcohol is a touch elevated. There is plenty to like, even if the Mars doesn't quite have the balance of the very best wines in this range.
