GSMs—wines made with Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre—have become one of the world's most popular red wine blends. Fashioned after the wines from France's southern Rhône Valley, these blends are often generous, layered, and flavorful. The 2016 Zaca Mesa Inceptive is as good as there is in the marketplace.

    The 2016 vintage of Inceptive is a vibrant wine, showing aromas of vine picked blackberries, crushed rock, and graphite. Round silky tannins cascade along your palate, releasing concentrated flavors of mixed black fruits and violet. The long mineral finish has energy and focus that can only be described as electric.
