Aug 29th, 2013Hutton Farm Grenache Matro. Very soft and well integrated, mataro is there for structure but not earthiness.

Aug 30th, 2016Not harsh, nor bitter... A little tart on the cherry notes, but not to diminish the wine. Red plums and slightly under ripe cherries. Tannins are easy and silky. Very drinkable.
