For about $20 at a small and quaint wine shop in 2016 this was an enjoyable wine. Definitely get some earthy/forest floor notes, some graphite, pencil, and some meaty aspects on top of a dash of classic cab tobacco. Palate is much more fruit driven. Tannins present and integrated. Decent length on the finish. Don’t see a reason to hold this much longer if at all.

Big WA Grenache with heat on the back end to really let you know this is creeping up on 15%. Opened up surprisingly quick for a red mountain wine with candied raspberry, cranberry and nice spicey notes showing on the nose. Palate showed some nice savory undertones and more barrel spice. Overall I’m really happy with this. Glad a have a second bottle to follow up with in a few years.

So. Good. Dark and brooding. Black fruit, spicey tobacco on the nose with more of the same and rich, deep tannins on the lengthy finish. Quite a bit more intense than the 18 but with similar bones. Made to go the distance. Hold your bottles and revisit in 5 yrs if you’re able.
