Medium ruby red in appearance. A bit savory on the nose with berries, spices, cocoa and a hint of earthiness. Well balanced palate with a medium body and medium tannins (5.5/10). Fresh red berries on the palate with some darker spices and bramble berries. Medium plus finish. Drink till 2029.

Great vineyard, great fruit. More structure than most Cali Grenache, sturdy acidity to keep it from getting blowsy, and plenty red and black berry fruit. Yum.

Apr 21st, 2016All the bright red strawberries and raspberries you could want, and with a brisk acidity that keeps everything from getting flabby or boozy on the palate. Add an undercurrent of herbs, earth and leather and you're done. Deeeeee-licious.
