Fantastic Grenache. Explosive and rich nose. Snootfuls of crushed dark raspberries and the bush they grow on. Dark, smoky minerals. And -- yes, this is weird-- fresh grilled shrimp. Basically, it smells like nature. Palate is rich and very dark slatey/minerally. Great length. Not jammy at all. Decent but lowish acids. If I had known it was this good, I wouldn't have popped it for a Monday Night Football dinner wine.

Strawberry, licorice, Herbes de Provence, with a touch of lavender. Some heat and an almost liqueur-like feel, but not a serious issue -- it's an easy drinker.

Tons of berry on the nose. Hints of melon, lemon and chocolate plus a finish of strawberry.
