McPrice Myers Beautiful Earth Red '21

Scoring an impressive 92 points, this Rhône-style blend from Paso Robles' limestone hills delivers a symphony of dark fruit and earthy complexity. The 2021 vintage opens with aromas of blackberry, smoked meat, and lavender, leading to a medium-full bodied palate layered with flavors of plum, black pepper, and cocoa powder. Aged 16 months in neutral oak, it showcases the purity of its Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre components while maintaining remarkable freshness. The tannins are supple yet present, framing a long finish with hints of garrigue and mineral. Pair with grilled lamb chops, mushroom flatbreads, or herb-rubbed pork tenderloin.
