MSG - 2018 - Hardy Wallace
Dirty and Rowdy
A complex nose with notes of black fruits, long pepper, and a hint of undergrowth… The palate is supple and round, silky and deep, with well-integrated tannins, and lovely length.

A blend of 41% Mourvèdre, 39% Syrah and 20% Grenache from vines around 27 years old on average, farmed organically and planted on limestone and granite soils, at 430 metres altitude, in the Chalone appellation in Monterey County. The MSG cuvée comes from the same vines as the Brosseau and Antle cuvées. Vinification is done with whole grape bunches and zero additives, followed by maturation in barrels that have seen several wines. Unfiltered and unfined, with just a microdose of sulphur at bottling.
