Drinks like Rayas. Pale garnet, medium+ viscosity and intensity.

Used oak, medium acid, medium+ tannin, medium+ alcohol, finishes on VA and candied strawberry. Clean expression of Grenache on sandy soils.

When California Grenache looks in the mirror, this is what it imagines it looks like. Pure, svelte fruit without an ounce of fat and an extra helping of poise. I don't always drink Grenache, but when I do, it's A Tribute To Grace.

Pop and poured this right out of the delivery box. It was all wound up, but only needed about 30 minutes of air to start to show some beautiful red fruit and minty herbal goodness. Will hold the other bottles for a while, but seriously enjoyed this wine.

T.A. Returns to S.D. 7/7/2018: Nice Rosé starter on a warm SD evening. Thought I had brought the ‘16, but the ‘14 is still showing well.
