Nose of dark leathers cherries with baking spice. Chewy leggy textured. Deep yet vibrant ruby color. More fruit than I expected, pleasantly. Spiced baked cinnamon clove earthy aged cherry. Great price of $6.99 at Trader Joe's. I would buy this again for sure. Pairs nicely with hard goat cheeses, like goat gouda and drunken goat.

Agree with most - light yet complex. Tart without being sharp. Dry with several flavors (hard to pin down, changes with food)

Much more bright and fun than I remember it being. Sweet cherry, red licorice, bouncy hints of tobacco. Tasty.

I've had better grenache, but not the worst wine ever.

Tasting yields strawberry, raisin, and good acidity. Cherry on the nose. Pairs well with machego and paddrone peppers

Blackberry, raisin, and currant on the nose. Sweet, juicy, fruit forward. Bright and acidic. Strong fruit jam sugars up front with light body.

I get some berry flavors but I wouldn't call it jammy or sweet. Not much mouth-drying effect at the first few sips (i.e. not high in tannins). Seems like an easy drinking wine that would have broad appeal.
