Cherry, raspberry, cranberry, vanilla and hints of oak. Good structure and soft tannins.

Pours a medium red color, dark for a Grenache. Aromas of cherry and cinnamon reminiscent of a red hot. Flavors of cherry blueberry and plum overwhelm the subtle sweet spice at beginning Flavor is better than the aromas. A very complex wine. Medium bodied with a pretty long finish.

Sorry but this wasn't for us. Too much sour notes of cranberry. Too dark for a Grenache but despite that it lacks complexity. Probably wouldn't get it again.
