Translucent, elegant Grenache. Maybe lacks depth, but this is really easy to drink.

Out of magnum. Very pretty, feminine grenache.

Needs a little time yet to unwind, but this continues to be just about the only domestic Grenache that rings my bell. Amazingly pretty red fruit without over-ripeness, over-extraction, or over-oak.

Grenachey broad nose, licorice, earthy, syrupy, ripe, juicy, hot, good powdery tannin, nice acid, needs to breathe, I think this could bet better.

Very pretty Grenache, lots of Rainier cherry along with underlying minerality. An excellent pair to grilled chicken with spice rub.

What an amazing " tribute" to Grenache! Lasting finish, full, round, loads of mixed black fruit!

a gorgeously pure jewel ~ floral w violets on the nose, raspberry, cherries, kirsch, plum, slightly savory, slightly herbal, a faint licorice & botanical note, and a dusty silt-like finish ~ paired deliciously w roasted butternut squash, pancetta, maple syrup & sage on baguette for an autumn lunch
