Great with Mexican food. I try this wine similarly to a Granacha from South America; kind of jammy but with some age, jam subsides and spices meats come out to reveal a gamer tone.

Tasty. Sort of an inky non-earthy Sonoma rhone

More like a syrah heavy SGM blend...more syrah-ish to me, with subtle meat, herbs, and briney black olives...just a big grenache

Still very closed. Tannins are high for a CA Grenache. Extremely restrained fruit from cool Bennett Valley. Good acidity, and instead of bright fruit there is secondary tobacco, wood and spice with some sour cherry. You get some garrigue, blood and menthol later.

Ripe and fairly pure, and unmistakably Grenache, a little tart on the finish which improves the pairing with spare ribs.
