Graet personality.
Earthy, mushrooms and truffle woth autumnal feel going from pomegranate to forest floor.
Strong iron component
And the fruit is there somewhere too and it is a spur cherry.
It screams DRIIIINKKK MEEEEE!!!
..with moderation please...

The elegant side of #grenache - High-toned strawberry + red floral elements on the nose, elegant creamy texture on palate, soft tannins, balanced acidity. Lovely wine from I. Brand & Family Winery. #centralcoastwine — 4 years ago
A trip to Costco & I’m home with this -painting a room & listening to some jazz. Quiet night at home & this is the perfect companion! Very happy with this spur-of-the-moment pic!

Drink with the WS Wine dogs quite tasty after 10 years good balance acidity and fruit doing their job — 9 years ago
Still very dark for a 15 year old red. Smells like berry-plum sauce and leather. Bit of wet gravel and flint. Flavors are lovely and elevated. Black currants. A hint of cola nut. Licorice drops. This is quite an elegant and lovely red. Could age longer. Beefy but with a velvet glove. — 7 months ago
Decent - Dan loves it - I sorta like it 🫤
Spur of moment dinner @ anacapri — 3 years ago
From magnum, disg October 2011. A spur of the moment purchase 6 years ago that has paid back in spades.
Amazing golden colour, honey and almond on the nose. Incredible length. A spectacular wine that will be remembered in many ways. — 6 years ago
Really tasty. Smooth, not too dry. Easy to drink. Really great finish. This will become a part of the rotation. — 7 years ago
Worth a decant, or a night in the fridge after opening, in my case — a year ago
2016. Experimental spur of the moment pick up from a Salcha gas station wine rack. Bright lights and loaded with dust, I’m sure it was there for several years before I liberated it. My coworker smoked a rib roast and the straightforward cherry flavors in the wine paired great. Wine was surprisingly sound. — a year ago
Nice. Lots of layered ripe dark fruit, just a touch of vanilla. Spur cherry on the palate finish. The fun part is the tannins though, enough grip a texture to underline the slightly rustic character. — 4 years ago
Very pleasantly delighted by this spur of the moment choice. Everything is in balance and harmony. Dark cherry nose and palate, peppery finish — 6 years ago
Best Pinotage I have ever tried. I could feel the spur cherries and the spicy plums of the parent varieties. Balanced, medium bodied, soft tannins and length — 7 years ago

I believe we got this as a gift and it's been in our cabinet for awhile. Opened it on the spur of the moment when friends came over for dinner. It was loved by all! Easy to drink. — 9 years ago
