LYDIAN Red Wine, Columbia Valley ‘GSM’ 2021

For being Avennia’s entry-level wine brand, this Lydian GSM is a stunner. A mélange of 56% Grenache, 28% Syrah, and 16% Mourvedre are beautifully combined. This wine tastes like a wine that should cost 2-3 times as much as it does. Sweet macerated strawberries, Bing cherries, lemony herbs, lemongrass, and white peppercorn aromas play perfectly with the blue-fruit finish. Best Buy and editor’s choice.
