PnP and immediately presented with a slightly constrained nose and palate. Deep, dark and brooding, it is opaque in the glass. 2nd and 3rd sips reveal hidden complexity, with round velvet in the front and very slight acidity and backbone showing mid-palate and gently tannins at the back with a pretty finish that lingers… Really nice! Will *try* to slowly sip to experience the evolution. Stems up!

Kudos to the Yount family on a well-done Grenache blend! PNP - I was surprised this gem is 14.5% alcohol because I didn’t get much heat from the nose. The nose is a bit of a tease, holding back on some of the aromatics. Bright, fruit forward with a hint of zippiness on the front of my palate that evolves and becomes much more complex mid-palate and where the slight tannins start to peek through. Full and flavorful at the back of my palate with a lovely finish. Stems up!

PnP from wine cellar. Practically opaque in the glass and a bit muted on the nose with hints of white pepper. Little bit of heat coming through and then… Wow! On the palate it’s fresh, clear, bright, and then dark fruit really opens up mid-palate and finishes with a kiss that lingers ever so slightly. So well done, so balanced, so pretty. What a talent! Will miss this wine…
