Spiced bright red cherry nose. Deeper in color than expected, yet still softly silkily bing cherry across the palate. A bigger Grenache, notably in a hotter climate. Nice acidity on the finish. The California palate appreciates this wine. Paired wonderfully with soft ripened Comeback Cow cheese. Tames the youthfulness of the fruit!
