Sunday, December 7, 2014 - A day of lots of SQN and a few more!; 12/7/2014-12/9/2014 (Loretta Paganini School of Cooking and the Woods of Newbury): Does anyone make a better Grenache than SQN? I don't think so (although there are some that may be as good). This was beautiful. SQN's are big yet they avoid being ponderous or alcoholic. No easy trick in CA. The nose has black cherries, raspberries, spice, red licorice and even some lavender. On the palate, lovely texture. Lots of fruit black cherries, raspberries with a great backbone of acidity to carry all the fruit. A touch of charred wood. Long finish. Getting close to peak but not there yet.
