2004 “The Assemblage” Shiraz Mourvedre Grenache
'THE ASSEMBLAGE' S.M.G 2004
The 2004 Assemblage is a blend of 56% Shiraz, 27% Mourvedre, and 17% Grenache. Dark ruby-colored, it has an expressive nose of damp earth, black cherry, and blueberry muffin. Elegant, in the house style of Pikes, this medium to full-bodied wine has layered fruit, ripe flavors, and outstanding concentration. Drink this lengthy wine over the next 6-8 years.
90 Points - The Wine Advocate - October 2007
"(48% shiraz, 35% grenache and 17% mourvedre) Medium red. Complex bouquet offers red berries, fresh and dried flowers, baking spices and musky underbrush. Vivid strawberry and raspberry flavors possess show vivacity and breadth, with silky tannins adding support. Finishes sweet and impressively long. Impressive clarity here.".
