2023 Cowhorn "GSM" Red Blend, Rogue Valley, Oregon, USA
ABOUT THE WINE
Crafted from Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, Cowhorn’s GSM reflects the estate’s biodynamic farming and the distinctive terroir of the Rogue Valley. The region’s warm days and cool nights allow for full phenolic ripeness while preserving natural acidity, resulting in wines of both power and precision.
The 2023 vintage showcases generous dark fruit supported by savory complexity. Fermentation typically occurs with native yeasts, often incorporating whole-cluster elements to enhance aromatics and structure. Aging in neutral oak barrels refines texture while maintaining transparency to site and varietal character.
Expect flavors of black cherry, blueberry, cracked pepper, and dried thyme, framed by polished tannins and a mineral undertone. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled lamb, roasted vegetables, smoky barbecue, or aged cheeses. Approachable now with decanting, it also has the structure to develop gracefully over several years.
