July 2, 2022 - Aromas of red cherry, strawberry and raspberry jam, wild blueberry, lemon thyme, bay leaf, eucalypt, rosehips, dried orange peel, parched summer meadow, hot cast iron... tangy and bright on the palate, cooked and liqueur-like fruit, myriad resinous herbs, long and vivacious finish. This will develop nicely.

January 26, 2022 - i drank this last week and forgot to make a note... I recall it being light in the mouth, well balanced with adequate concentration. also recall thinking I should buy some more.

October 10, 2021 - Lighter bodied Grenache with pure aromas of red berries, strawberry fruit leather, cedar and a slight herbal undertone. Tart red fruit and baking spice on the palate with tight tannic structure and vibrant acidity.
