13’ Roots Wine Company The Barrel Project Grenache.
Red hue color. Let it open up in the glass for 10 minutes. Juicy & ripe, this bursts open with a flavorful rich fruity cherry compote & red licorice spice. It's light bodied & ready for near-term drinking, and yet has the acid backing to age a couple more years.

Just grabbed from the Great Falls Wine Outlet and decided to coravin a bit. Deep garnet with a touch of ruby. Layered nose with tons of dark cherries, purple flower petals, roses and earthiness. Solid acidity and medium tannins (5/10). Light plus to medium bodied and layered with strawberries, cherries and lavender. Dry with a medium plus finish. Would be nice to see how it develops with some air and age. Drink till 2021.
