Medium pink; medium plus intensity aromas of ripe strawberries, raspberry, red currant, mushroom, forest floor, limestone mineral; dry, medium acid, high alcohol, full body, medium plus intensity flavors consistent with aromas; long finish, ripe red fruit and funky earthy perfume fills palate, big wine but well balanced, outstanding

This is about as far from Provence as you can get - 15.5% ABV, Grenache, fantastic depth of flavor. Great solution for a hot day to pair with food you normally drink with a red. I’m having it with beef rib BBQ that’s been in the sous vide for 48 hrs

More like a Rose' of Port. This is Manfred Krankl-like without the finesse. Herman Story more like Andrew Shaw. Manfred is Patrick Kane. Did I mention the Blackhawks won the Cup?
