A Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre (44%-24% -32%) blend that’s a bit like a lake crossing after dark—bold, a little mysterious, and guaranteed to leave you yearning for more. With Grenache’s red fruit splash, Syrah’s dark, smoky edge, and Mourvèdre’s earthy, sultry touch you will find it layered, intense, and tantalizing. 

Here’s one of the rare wines we craft from grapes beyond our Lake Chelan valley. We ventured to the powerhouse Red Mountain AVA for Syrah and Mourvèdre, and then to an exceptional vineyard near Benton City for Grenache. This region’s intense sunshine and long growing season create the bolder reds that Lake Chelan’s shorter growing season can’t quite match. It’s a prime spot for grapes that excel with extra ripening time, and the result is a beautifully rich blend that brings out the best of both worlds 

During fermentation, we added a small percentage of stems to the bins, enhancing palate length, spice, and character. Elevate your wine experience with this beautifully crafted GSM, a testament to the artistry of winemaking at Hard Row to Hoe Vineyards.
