Great QPR on this bottling @Somm David T gave me the 411 on these a few vintages back
Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish /brick rim.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Very dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing red and black fruits with light wood, spices, barnyard, blood, dried meats, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, earth, herbs, peppercorn and licorice.
Nice finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This Single Vineyard Grenache from Walla Walla Valley is very stinky and austere on the nose.
Complex and very interesting, but not what I expected at all. Feels more like an old world wine.
Wine Advocate 95 points. Wine Spectator 94 points. Wine Enthusiasts 94 points.
I had a recent vintage a couple of years ago and it showed much better. Might just be this particular bottle, or it could be past its prime by now.
A good quality wine and still very drinkable.
13.2% alcohol by volume.
91 points.

I’d almost forgotten I had this lying in a forgotten corner of the cellar. It’s a blend of 35% Semillon 28% Roussanne, 16% Chardonnay 15% Chenin Blanc 6% Clairette. It’s delicious and has lots of character. Deep greenish gold color is striking. I love the nose: lanolin, pear, candle wax, a wee bit of honey, crushed rock. Deeply flavored. It’s got the weighty texture of the Semillon and Roussanne components in the fore. Lovely fruit up front transitions into a minerally finish with a nice bitterish note. Pretty decent acids. Love it! — a month ago
