The 'Vireo' is the most impressive bottling in the Goose Ridge lineup of reds and is an intriguing blend of 40% Syrah, 35% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine possesses a simply gorgeous nose with rose petals, anise, creme de cassis and red bell pepper. There are medium to heavy weight flavors of anise, creme de cassis, blackberry preserves and mocha alongside mild tannins. Simply delicious right now but will cellar well for another decade.(Best 2016-2025) - March, 2016 (OB)
