I uncorked this earlier in the week & did not have a chance to post. Unfortunately, the bottle was somewhat cooked by heat and did not show well. My buddy Shay @Shay Aldriedge shared this with us. I've never had their Grenache and was looking forward to it but alas it wasn't meant to be.

Dark, rich, chocolate, oaky, very very very dry. Delicious but a little too dry for a go to wine.

Don’t let the Grenache part fool you..this is a dark bold tasty liquid. This was brought to my house for a party and drinking the leftover the next day ;) So not sure what sure the blend is exactly but delicate light berry Grenache it is not (says yoda of course) and more what I would expect from a Napa wine. Would pair with any moderate to heavy app/dinner.

Youthfully rich dark berry fruit and semi-sweet chocolate. Soft tannins and acidity. A big wine wine at 14.5%; it comes straight at you. But the longer you let it aerate, the more it teases you.

Have had this wine several times and it continues to grow on me. Good when paired with some cheeses and meat.

Phenomenal after about thirty minutes of opening up. Great with spicy food. Dark fruit with a subtle finish.

Excellent Grenache, surprised to find it's from the Napa region. Nice light flavorful finish
