Everyone likes a story and what hit home about this wine for me had nothing to do with the wine but had to do with him being unapologetic for who he is. His personality matches his wines, big, bold, voluptuous and completely intoxicating (in a good way). The quote that hooked me in? "Ballet lessons aren't cheap, why should my wines be?" As a parent in this business (who also pays for very expensive ballet lessons) I feel you. The wine has pronounced intensity on both the nose and palate of ripe primary fruits (red and black cherries, rhubarb, blackberries, ripe red currants) with an awesome cinnamon stick and black peppercorn notes.big and bold with great acidity, rich ripe tannins and a long finish. Total crowd pleaser, just like him!

All the hallmarks of good Grenache... Soft, sandlewood, approachable. Thirst quenching!
