Yummmm. Grenache with gamay attitude

Nov 25th, 2018Undeniably delicious and juicy, but still has plenty going on beneath the surface. Throughout the course of the bottle, secondary aromas of stem and herbs intermingle with sweet florals, funky mineral and dusty earth. Ridiculous value at $20 and an absolute standard bearer for Bay Area natty juice. I wish this was just available everywhere, any time.

Muscular, with good zest, definition, and savory tones.

Oct 14th, 201765 Carignan, 20 Valdigué, 15 Syrah. Like a Cru Beaujolais blended with a funky Syrah. Purple red violet rim. Smoky boysenberry, light smoke, stone. Super concentrated berry flavor strong acid, mouth coating, minor bitterness and astringency. Medium finish. A full flavor, quirky BBQ wine.

Cranberry + Tart Cherry. Some spice and grip on the finish. Fun and Refreshing. A summertime wine for sure.

75% Carignan, 14% Valdiguie, 11% Syrah. Not exactly what I would refer to as a "Grenache Blend". A good chill on this really helped.

A bit astringent, this blend failed as a cocktail wine but excelled as a pizza wine. The light body, bright cherry flavors, and sharp acidity cut through the cheese.
