The deep rich ruby '09 Herman Story Grenache 'Larner Vineyard' is my yearly one-bottle guilty pleasure from the HS Wine Club. This is a 15.7% pedal-to-the-metal aromatic explosion of licorice, tar, ripe red fruits and violets. The full-bodied palate mimics those scents with the addition of vanilla and cracked black pepper flavors. This is a yummy spice-laden brute right to the bitter end.

Oct 1st, 2015A rich dark purple, the '07 Herman Story Grenache 'Larner Vineyard' delighted the senses with ripe crushed berry, tar and floral notes. On the plush palate, the primary flavors I detected were cola, cracked pepper and truffles. Fine and supple tannins preceded the lingering spicy finish. Nice stuff!

May 6th, 2015A deep ruby color, the '08 Herman Story Grenache 'Larner Vineyard' bursts with aromas of black cherry, cinnamon and cracked pepper. The legs were longer than a pin-up calendar girl. A great viscous mouthfeel with lots of cherry cola and ripe plum flavors. The juicy finish lingered for an extended and pleasurable length of time.
