Missing acidity and freshness. Although the fruit quality is ripe and lovely, the 15%ABV is a bit over the top.

Some nice gamey notes intertwined with red fruits, blackberry, violets and bacon. Very soft and supple.

First time trying this wine. Plenty of ripe fruit balance by good acidity and structure. Holds true to a balance between the new world and old world. Right now the Grenache is showing very pretty spicy red fruit.

This aged quite nicely. Getting to be a little bit softer so time to drink in my opinion. Had with some nice spicy Asian food. Still a lot of darker cherry with a hint of blackberry? Really nice GSM blend. Huge fan.
