100% Grenache. This is just a delightful wine. Hints of blackberries on the nose in the lingering aftertaste. Bright and cheerful. This one satisfies all the way through. Nice!

Herman Story 440 Days. 100% Grenache from Paso Robles. Chelle Mountain and Terra Bella vineyards. Aged in 100% in new French Oak Foudre for 440 days, followed by 1 year in 100% New French Oak barrels. 380 cases made. 15.5% alcohol. Medium garnet color with a highly perfumed nose of smokey strawberries, figs and leather with a little hoisin and/or teriyaki in the background. It’s the explosive back-loaded palate that really impresses. Dark fruits, blackberries, spice cake, figs, olive brine, smokey bacon fat and cola with slightly gritty tannins. Rich, exotic and hedonistic. Downright delicious actually. I only bought a couple of these. Now wish I had a few more. Highly recommended. Nice job Russell.
