What they said ⬇️... lots of great notes on this already. I’d add that the 2013 is still drinking fresh, with nice acid and plenty of fruit. Really a delight at the price too

On the tongue, this offers up more tart fruits, cranberry, raspberry, skin tannins - the inside bits that you cannot seems to chew fully - white, black peppers, wild acidity. Long, chewy, and very lime zesty. An interesting Grenache from Cali.

Medium reddish purple. Aromas of spicy red berries and herbs. Light bodied with vibrant acidity and little tannin.

85+ year #oldvines, pure sand soil, the winemaking expertise of @Pax Mahle. The result is a thrilling example of grape, terroir and winemaking union. The spicy, feisty side of #Grenache leaps forward carried by bright red fruit and racy acidity. Tannins rounded and freshness abounds thanks to fermentation in cement tank.

After a couple of days in the Finger Lakes tasting cold-climate wines, I craved something Mediterranean in style. This is a terrific Grenache, picked early enough to keep some zing. Nose has fresh raspberry, stone dust, and rhubarb. Transparent and athletic in the mouth. Nice acids and purity, has some tannin for structure too. Great pasta wine.

A tightly-wound and fresh style of Grenache. Nose has hibiscus flowers, tart raspberry, cracked stones, and whiff of baking spice. Savory and tight in the mouth, with a bitter whack of flavor initially, with fruit coming in as the finish winds down. Very good acidity. Good dinner accompaniment.
