Part 1 of the final and main event for the Fall WNH. The most spectacular lineup of wines I’ve ever seen, and an overall wonderful ending to an amazing trip with fantastic people.
I’m so glad Carl brought this, as it was a nice break from the big cabs and SQNs. Great aromatics of baked plum and rhubarb tart. Lean and balanced on the palate. Spiced red fruit and black pepper on the finish. Excellent Grenache. Thank you, @Carl Fischer !

Nov 13th, 2018Light cherry red, ripe bright red fruits and nice tannic grip on the finish. Pretty long finish too.

Apr 2nd, 2017Ripe strawberry, spice, violet, raspberry. Nice ripe fruit flavors while still showing restraint and balance. A hint of smoke towards the end.

May 5th, 2014Probably the best Californian grenache I've ever had. Fruity nose, complex, integrated tannins, medium+ finish.
