After two decades with Microsoft, Greg Peiker attended the Northwest Wine Academy and launched his brand with the 2018 vintage. The Amore from that year, his Rhône blend, won a Platinum. Two vintages later, this blend of Syrah (63%), Mourvèdre (21%) and Grenache has earned another Platinum. It’s a collection of spicy, ripe and red components as Red Vine licorice, Red Hots candy, nutmeg, coffee grounds and leather hold hands and support a supple structure that’s capped by Lucy Glo apple skin and Rainier cherry juice.
