Not my preferred style. Blackberries, blueberries and cranberries. FROOOT 💣. Paso alcohol levels at above 15% and shows it on the finish.

Blackberry, cassis, cherry, raspberry preserves, prune, vanilla, dark chocolate and oak. Good structure and soft tannins.

Juicy, jammy, notes of raspberry. A bit one-note, though.

Overpriced for a $60 bottle out, however $22 would be more than worth it. Quite tasty with and without food!

So this was a surprise. I picked this as the second best wine in a blind tasting. Had again tonight and still think it is pretty good wine. Bright, dark fruit subtle. Good choice for a Wednesday.

Dark berries and herbs (perhaps from the small concentration of Syrah) in this Grenache make for a great wine that improves following aeration. Get it at TJs for less than half off retail.
