This deep, dark Grenache blend shows a bit of savory funk on the nose, with black olives, meat and tobacco coming through. The palate has cherry and dark berry flavors, along with chalky, earthy notes. The mouthfeel is full andcrefreshing, with enough tannic structure to handle a steak, or any other meat dish. The finish lingers awhile, which is a pleasure.

Yikes. The opposite end of the grenache spectrum I care to visit. An abomination.

Gorgeous aromatic complexity but the mid-palate was hot w/ABV - finish was a bit rough. Thought this was overdone, over manipulated and clumsy. Smelled great tho

Beautiful deep, metallic ruby color with plum aroma. The first sip is startling in its unique flavor. Moving forward it becomes a mildly acidic and very spicy wine that’s really enjoyable. It’s dry, bold and lingering taste makes it memorable. (🎥 The Batman)

Overly stewed fruit, booze, black ink in the glass, nice olive/game, dope label. I wanted to like this so much more, but this is one of the first misses for me from this team. Long decant and slight chill help.

Dec 2nd, 2022Definitely has the nose of a higher quality wine. But a bit sharp in the aromas. And a little paint smell. Fruity, hot. Sweet with a little bitter finish. Very powerful and smacks you. A little of oxidation on the night. More noticeable on the 2nd and obvious on the third. It was too sweet to go with the goulash. Should have stuck to the recommendation and had lamb or fatty, salty red meats. Next time I would decant for 2+ hrs. Would try again.

Oct 21st, 2022The first pour after opening smacks you in the mouth with fresh dark berries and vibrant acidity. It rounds out after some time in the glass but remains deliciously drinkable. A lovely, exciting, easy-drinker.
