Beautiful color of dark ruby with a wide reddish rim.
Strong and fruity nose with black currants, black plums, wild flowers, cherries, oak, spices, licorice, cloves, vanilla, cinnamon, earth, light alcohol, peppercorn and dark chocolates.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, earth, tobacco, chocolates, light vegetables, pencil lead and peppercorn.
Medium plus in length on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a very enjoyable Single Vineyard Grenache from Sonoma County. Spicy and easy drinking with nice complexity.
Fruit forward and enjoyable by itself or with food. A good wine to enjoy with friends by the porch.
Good right out of the bottle and better after an hour of airtime, when the complexity shows up.
I paired it with cheeses and crackers.
