Solid Rhone Style Grenache blend. Drinking it on the porch on a rainy Sunday afternoon and feeling really good. Integrates nicely. Lynyrd Skynyrd helps.

Light red blend. Goes well with lighter foods. Can’t hold up to a steak. Nice with a light tomato sauce, salmon, etc. Bought at the String Bean in Belmont, NC. $22.

So often a nose invites and the actual mouth experience falls short. Not here. Plenty of body and plummy, jammy fruit on the front and NOT on the back. For me...important. I wouldn't call these tannins soft and the alcohol is high. We paired with meatballs so SCORE.
