The 2019 Big Canyon is a stellar example of a bold and elegant GSM blend! This blend features our savory Syrah, complemented by bright Grenache, & opulent Mourvèdre. Both the Syrah & Grenache are 20% whole cluster fermented, adding incredible texture, complexity, & ageability to this wine! The fruit was hand-selected & aged for 18 months in 100% French oak to create a blend of Rhône varietals that is richly sophisticated, multi-layered, & with flawless balance.

This wine is truly a representation of Starfield terroir. Our Tempranillo grows in the coolest part of the vineyard, where it produces a bold red wine with great structure and savory aromas. We age it in 40% new French and 10% new American oak to produce a complex and sumptuous wine that enhances red meats and all spicy dishes.
