The Third Twin Nuestra Senora del Tercer Gemelo, California, USA 2021

2021 The Third Twin Nuestra Senora del Tercer Gemelo" refers to a red wine produced by the California winery Sine Qua Non, specifically from their "The Third Twin" vineyard; it's a highly acclaimed, full-bodied blend primarily composed of Mourvèdre, Grenache, Graciano, and Syrah, known for its rich fruit flavors, complex spice notes, and substantial tannins, often considered a top-tier wine from the region.

"Matching the 2018 and the second perfect wine I've tasted from the Third Twin releases, the 2021 Nuestra Senora Del Tercer Gemelo is based on 57% Mourvèdre, 14% each of Grenache, Graciano, and Syrah, with the final 1% Viognier. It was fermented with one-third whole clusters and spent 31 months in 41% new French oak. Sensational red and black fruits, graphite, sandalwood, pepper, and even some floral, exotic notes all give way to a full-bodied, incredibly concentrated, powerful red that has flawless tannins, a seamless, multi-dimensional mouthfeel, no hard edges, and a monster of a finish. This beauty marries sensational richness and depth with awesome purity, perfect balance, and remarkable complexity. It’s going to blow you away any time over the coming two decades."
