2019 Hahn GSM California Red Blend

#20-2024

Red Blends are very popular, and the styles vary, but often seem more French than American. When we paired the Hahn GSM (Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre) with thick, center cut pork chops from the grill, the Chardonnay Queen exclaimed, “This is Lip-Smacking Good!” I thought so as well.

This is a fragrant and succulent, jammy wine, which grabs your nose, as well as your palate, in a sensuous tango of passion! The flavors are blackberry, black raspberry, and a small dose of cherry, which sail off into the night. This one definitely “begs for another sip!” The alcohol content is 14.5%. and Norm’s score is 91.

The Hahn GSM would be great with any grilled meat, or red-sauced pasta dish, and would also make a great companion for Paella or Cioppino.

Score: 91

Price: $12-$17
