From some research I found this is Syrah and Grenache from two vineyards in Bennett Valley. Dark color. Like India ink dark with a purple lip. Smells lovely. Fresh berries meets European salt licorice. Also little fresh paint. A few wet stones as well. Flavors are dense and extracted. Plenty of tannins, but floral and complex. There’s plenty of minerality here. This might age well. Loosen up and gain a softer edge. Lots of leather, cherry pits and olives in there. Bennett Valley sure is great for Rhone grapes, especially Syrah’s.
