2022 Faethm Fingers Crossed Life & Death Red Wine California, USA

43.5% Grenache 22% Syrah 13% Mourvedre 13% Graciano 8.5% Petite Sirah

(96-99 points) Spiced red and black berry fruits, ground pepper, herbes de Provence, and savory flower notes all emerge from the 2022 Red Wine Life & Death, an incredibly textured, full-bodied red blend that has velvety tannins, a round, layered mouthfeel, and a great finish. It's a perfect example of a wine bringing incredible richness and depth without any sensation of weight or heaviness. Jeb Dunnuck
