Beautiful wine, would buy again — 4 years ago
Inky purple with a bright hue (spilled a drop on the white marble counter). Understated nose of tar and leather with a hint of black fruit. Balanced tannins with blackberry though no brambliness. Agree with another reviewer that Syrah may be an element. Great wine for a Friday night steak on the BGE. — 6 years ago

Velvet mouthfeel. This wine is like candy even in its youth this is a Grenache like no other!!! — 8 years ago
A little better than the ratings suggest, I think this is better due to the age. Difficult to pick out the different components, but I think this has some interesting layers to it. Would have been better with a bit more grenache blanc for my tastes, but a nice wine (absolutely terrible pairing with some terrific scallops, though!). — 9 years ago

pale yellow; subtle aromatics, peach, jasmine, slight musk; stone fruit, minerality, slightly viscous texture; medium to full bodied, surprising acidity for the variety, 14.1% ABV; sourced from their estate Purisima Mountain Vineyard, fermented in stainless steel, aged mostly in steel with small amount in neutral barrel; very refreshing, fresher, brighter style — 6 years ago
