Once all the rage, the GSM blend was a victim of fashion … only to be revived here in this luscious, full-fruit, oaked version from Parker-rated Henry Laithwaite.
THE STORY
Of Scottish descent, Wilson Gunn brings out the bellicose side in winemaker Henry Laithwaite as he battles to revive the once-fashionable blend of GSM.
Not every vintage, mind, only when the grapes are tip top and demand it and then it brings peace – Pax – once more.
Indeed, in reality, it’s Henry’s Scottish side of the family that inspired his label – the Wilsons, related to the Gunns, and that, of course, brought on ideas of battles, war… and in this case, tranquility.
