Thursday, January 31, 2013 - Tasting at The Watering Hole- Sandhi & other Terroir Selections (Los Olivos, CA): Ruby color. Aromas of fresh strawberry and cocoa cloaked in dense earth. Flavors of mulled spice and densely layered cherry and berry notes, along with hints of mineral. Rustic grainy tannins with a degree of finesse. Medium finish.

I do know that the bottle had been opened for 24 hours. I think this is still wound up- there's a lot there. The Wind Gap grenache-based wines really develop in some interesting directions with some bottle age. If you're a fan, I'm sure you'll enjoy it when the time comes!
