Miner Family
Sierra Foothills Grenache
Came off a bit hot from the alcohol but good texture. Not as much upfront fruit as I would have thought. Still enjoyable minus the heat.

Jan 29th, 2017Juicy nose of red fruit punch, and sweet vanilla. Flavorful on entry, with lots of berry fruit, augmented with some minerally tones. It's got a lot of body, but it lacks concentration in the mid palate so the alcohol shows through a bit. Good to wash down rustic pasta dishes.

May 11th, 2016Same feelings as last time this was in the mystery case. Very light and nondescript. Nose was a little tinny. Drank after a Pinot and could hardly taste this.

May 14th, 2022Ok. Another mystery case wine. We’ve had before and wasn’t our favorite compared to others. Light and a bit non descript.

Apr 17th, 2021Still didn’t love this the second time around. Strange tasting notes and very light in color. Skip next time.

Jun 20th, 2020Not super impressed with this. Tried for a lower priced option and to see more of their wines but very and almost too light in color and taste. Cherry medicine on the finish which did open and decrease as we moved further into the bottle. Would probably skip next time.

May 22nd, 2020Solid. Easy drinking Grenache. I think this is in a good place right now. Nice strawberry and tart cherry aromas, medium bodied, pretty well balanced and nice acidity. Shortish finish but otherwise very good.
