This is a really pretty Grenache. If you prefer a full throttle one, move along, however if you like the true finesse of what Grenache should be, then this is the perfect example. Highly recommended.

This is interesting. I feel like it is stuck between place and style. There are sips that taste like Santa Barbara Grenache, then Rhône, then Livermore . This leans towards a lighter style like tribute to grace, but there is a ton of fruit flavor with herbs and baking spice that give it more body like something from Livermore. Fascinating but probably needs some time to integrate?

Well structured. Could be better with more age.
