Fresh, balanced, and light on its feet, but also complex, savory, and layered. Wow, I really really like this.

Interesting ! Very interesting! Almost rosé like in its presence. Refreshing, tons of acid and never cloying. Very unique.

Evidence why Grenache should be added to the#ipob roster. Delicate, fruity, substantial and graceful. Beautiful wine with excellent medium term potential to evolve further.

Of the earth, chewy, vigorous, dense. @Tegan Passalacqua is roaring! @Wolfgang Weber is meowing.

Lean but broadens across and fills the palate. Highly spiced with great texture.

Intriguing approach to this grape, rarely under 15 abv in California—this is 13.4. Beautiful magenta color, full, rich red fruit profile. Structure suggests this will be interesting to follow over a few years.

Bright berries at the start that melted into luxurious fruit. Plum and raisin.
