I mean you guysssss. I@oened@this up both to swill and make some@mushrooms (pictured un-attractively) . Balanced in the perfect way, as in it is balanced but not bland. It is distinguished. Fresh on the nose, almost pears? A dark and ruby Grenache with your daily recommended value of tannins.
Smooth strawberries followed by love. More to follow in el bloggypoo.

New World Grenache is always tough to love. This is a solid example of type though.

A bit lacking in the mid-palate but pretty enjoyable with a touch of oak.

This is another standout from Unti. Balanced but ripe, with plenty of acidity.

As lovely as I remember. Dry Creek is crazy-suited for growing this grape.
