54% Syrah | 20% Petite Sirah 16% Mourvèdre | 10% Grenache
Paderewski and Catapult Vineyards
Willow Creek District, Paso Robles
Score: 93-95+ (barrel sample from Nov. 2018) "The 2016 Ingenuity includes slightly more Petite Sirah than normal but is still a classic Syrah, Petite Sirah, Mourvèdre and Grenache blend. It sports a vivid purple color as well as a dense, backward, yet oh so promising style. Giving up plenty of blue fruits, lots of graphite and minerality, full body, and notable yet ripe structure, it will unquestionably be a fabulous wine." - Jeb Dunnuck
