Best Buy! This sister project of TruthTeller is spearheaded by the Loeligers’s assistant winemaker, Keith Whisenhunt, who quickly flashed a talent for reeling in medals regardless of the price point. It’s almost unheard of for a Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre blend — GSM — to be offered at less than $30. Yet here is a Platinum for that effort. There’s brightness and balance in the nose and on the lengthy palate that uses a bit of leather to string together blackberry, blueberry, dark cherry and boysenberry.
