Valentine new york strips , outside, in 2F degree temps
Yes, I'm freezing, while the wife is in the cozy kitchen. The wine is very dark in color, purple hue on the rim. A 1 hour decant opens up dark ripe fruit.
Nice acidity, grippy tannins, a good wine for $12.95 💑 Happy Valentines Day.

Let it open. Vanilla and peach first on the nose. Medium bodied. Mild oak and plum with mild acidity followed by a little more oak with continued plum and fig in the finish.

Horrible wine. Very strange pine scent and pine aftertaste.

Apr 29th, 2019Wine club selection — Not as robust or grippy as the Petite Petit, but still an enjoyable Petite Syrah. Plum, raspberry, cassis, & subtle black fruit. Juicy front with lightly dry finish. Tannins are there, but not overpowering. Medium acidity. Not too complex. Lightly tart.

Dec 27th, 2018Chill 10 minutes before serving. Tasting notes of pomegranate, raspberry, red cherry, white pepper. A hand-crafted Grenache from the high-elevation Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard reveals bright red fruit notes.
The very atmosphere of the Santa Barbara Highlands Vineyard feels wild and restless. Sited between 2800-3200 feet above sea level, this is the highest elevation vineyard in Santa Barbara County and covers hills and mountain plateaus. The high-elevation location provides more UV intensity than anywhere else in the county, while a 30-40 degree daily temperature swing helps keep the grapes protected from the sun’s intensity. This unique and extreme location provides the grapes for the 2018 Grenache, which were picked at night and fermented whole-cluster. With naturally beautiful aromatics, the result is a light ruby red wine – fresh and fruity with silky tannins, lean acidity, and a long finish.
