Fess Parker The Big Easy Santa Maria Rhone Blend 2020 Rated 93JD

Jeb Dunnuck Review
Rated 93
One of the finest vintages I've tasted, the 2020 The Big Easy brings more elegance and purity than usual and has a beautiful bouquet of blue fruits, game, iron, and bay leaf. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has silky tannins, a layered, satisfying mouthfeel, and a great finish. The blend is 52% Syrah, 24% Petite Sirah, 18% Grenache, and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, aged 21 months in 15% new French and American oak.

Wine Tasting Notes
With The Big Easy we wanted to pay homage to one of our favorite cities, a culinary mecca and great supporters of our wines, New Orleans. Notes of blackberry, blueberry, pepper, BBQ spices, Herb de Provence, floral/violet, sage and vanilla are found on the nose along with flavors of blueberry, boysenberry, black plum, dark chocolate, grilled meat with a touch of oak on the palate. Enjoy this meaty, well-structured blend to a long lengthy finish with its round/soft tannins.
