WINE DESCRIPTION
Harbinger El Jefé is a Syrah-dominated Rhone blend with a proportion of Mourvedre and Grenache grown in Washington State's Rattlesnake Hills region located on America's West Coast. Here, the Cascade Mountains provided shelter from the Pacific rains meaning that this grape growing region is ideally suited to Rhone varieties. The grapes are harvested separately to ensure full ripeness before being vinified, aged and blended together to create a harmonious and layered wine.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Harbinger El Jefé has aromas of dark fruits, such as blackberry and plum, accompanied by hints of spice and licorice.These aromas seamlessly transition onto the palate, where the wine reveals its full-bodied nature and velvety texture. The flavor profile is marked by luscious dark fruit flavors, complemented by notes of dried herbs and a touch of black pepper. The wine's well-integrated tannins provide structure and balance, while the lingering finish leaves a lasting impression.
