August 20, 2023 - Fresh. Red berries. More tannic than expected, but still fairly balanced. A very muscular Grenache!

November 21, 2020 - The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like coffee. It tastes like tobacco and black olive. The body is medium/full. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity. needs another year

September 4, 2020 - Loved this bottle. Bursting with cherries, jam, blackberries, and leather. Light tannins. I suspect 1 more year in the bottle might make it even better. Paired with Mac n cheese which was perfect.
