Superb complexity for Grenache. Not too fat. Not thin. Blended very well and far from uniform. Suttle perceived sweetness, new oak. Well integrated blend. It opened up in the glass very nicely. Fine-grained tannin. Perfect time to drink while the fruit is fresh.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful. But the Denner is so delightful.

2012 - big peppery nose, red fruit, jalapeño, bell pepper aromas. Medium weight palate with a ton of structure - big framing acids and fine tannin. This should age well. Pop n pour at winery.
