Abstract Grenache Blend

History dates back to 1995 when on a lark, David Swift Phinney took a friend up on an offer & went to Florence, Italy to spend a semester “studying”. During that time, he was introduced to wine, how it was made, & got hooked. A Grenache, Syrah & Petite Sirah blend. Aromas of fresh ripe red fruits with floral & spice. On the palate flavors of cherry & raspberry with cacao & espresso notes on sweet savory soft tannins, well balanced, lingering finish ending with fruit & toasty oak. Nice! Consistent Quality!

Let’s see

Love this Grenache blend. Presents with classic Grenache profile and the petite sirah is evident in the mid palate. Really great w food.

deep purple. delicious nose of prunes, overripe berries and stone. disappointing mouth: earth, heavy licorice, wet leather, cacao. warm CA weather comes through. it is just unbalanced... soft tannins. little follow through. major disappointment.

Probably too young to have the complexity I expected. Deep purple with very dark fruit flavor it just doesn’t have any complexity. Way too heavy and monotone for me
