An unexpected treat to try this CA Grenache with a few years on it. Was not expecting the expression this wine garnered. Still bringing a great deal of floral notes (shifting to dried flowers & herbs with age) but the acidity is there to provide lift to the darker fruits this wine is beginning to show. Caught in a fun position, it truly evoked the duality of tasting the properties of 'light & darkness'. Sleeper pick.

Drank with onion and pepper brats and peach, tomato, and corn salad at Grand Lake cousin’s camp (2021). Light mouthfeel, hint of pepper and spice, but the spice might be the peppers. Raspberry, strawberry, and mild blueberries. Lighter than my style but good with the brats and good fruit.
