Redder (as opposed to purple) than I expected, which may be why I thought it was a bit lighter than I expected. Still, very good wine. NOT like most of the CA Grenache fruit bombs out there. 😊

Melee Grenache, nice stone fruit (red plum) and graphite notes, comes on strong and lingers sweetly and serenely.

Cedar, lilac, and lavender on the nose. Bright red fruits and lots of tannin.

Alone, this well tempered Grenache is lovely. Paired with Dark chocolate it assumes a sweet quality yet, comes right back with a spicy NY strip and gives a fruitful support that leaves you wanting more.
