Great balance of fruit character and spice. I can't say its the most classic typcast of Grenache I have ever tasted, but this wine is very easy to drink and well made. The finish is longer than what I expected. Excellent for a pinot noir lover that wants a little more substance. Flat cherry Dr Pepper character. Honestly, thats a good thing.

A little green and rough for my liking. Would be better with spicy tapas

Translucent ruby color. Unique aroma ( mint)? Mild cherry sweetness with big fruit in the middle. Then a slightly tannic tobacco finish.

Dayum! This has a misleading nose but an interesting combo of eucalyptus, sweet mint and cherry koolaid. The flavours want to explode on the palate but they hold strong with a strong cherry fruit.

Sweet with hints of root beer on the nose. An early bite with a longer finish.
