Hope Family Vineyard Grenache
One of the best Grenache's I have ever drank . Silky finish you could substitute this for a Pinot Noir.

Nov 1st, 2017Aromatically complex, strawberry compote, peppercorn jus, earthy dried mushroom, spice--cinnamon and the heat of alcohol comes through with a cayenne/capsaicin heat, dried basil and tarragon. I could smell this wine all night but for some reason I don't love drinking it--palate seems disjointed.
