Thursday, March 17, 2011 - The person bringing the wine must have mugged the UPS driver in front of his house to get it in time for dinner as the wine was opened the day it arrived. Smoke, coffee, blueberry, blackberry and slate aromatics made up the perfume. This ripe, fat, sexy, plush wine floated across your palate. There was not a hard edge to be found. No heat was detected in the wine, even though it was 15.7% percent alcohol by volume. The wine finished with layers of Maraschino cherry liqueur.

    6/1/2011 5:34:00 AM - I only have 1 bottle of this (versus 3 of the Syrahs) I opened the B20 Syrah a while back and thought that it was on of the lower performing SQN's. So I'm not sure when to open the Grenache. What would you say, now or wait?
