2020 | Force Majeure Vineyards 'Parabellum Coulée' | Red Mountain Gruaud-Larose with a well-balanced texture –The 2020 Parabellum Coule checks in as 58% Syrah, 21% Grenache, and 21% Mourvdre, and it's a hidden little gem in the vintage. Ripe red and black fruits, peppery herbs, violets, cedar pencil, and lavender all emerge on the nose, and it hits the palate with medium to full bodied richness, a supple, layered, sexy mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and a great finish. It's a gorgeous, satisfying, layered beauty to enjoy over the coming decade. 95 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
