Distinctive and aromatic! Wild strawberry, rose potpourri, chicken feed, mint and cinnamon. Light in body and clear at the edge. All my wine geekiness chortled in excitement.

Wonderful expression of Grenache with integrated red fruit, soft tannins, and ever present white pepper spice. The alcohol level was a shocking 15% - perhaps the norm for a Napa wine these days!

Just received the 2017 vintage. Strong floral aroma with strawberry taste. Very young to drink but I wanted to give it a try. Will let it cellar for a few years before trying again.

Lighter in its feet than other vintages, but in a good way. Cran-Strawberries with a dash of cream.
