Hard to imagine describing this as a big fruit bomb. Maybe it was a bit early when Niagara tried it. I thought this was well balanced opened nicely on the palate with a very smooth lengthy finish. Blackberry leather and smoothed out tannins. Hmmm. I just ordered more.

Opened 3 hrs before dinner. Fulsome flavor, medium body, but easy to use as a sipper. Doesn’t have to have food but nice with beef. Cherry, dark chocolate with a hint of apple. Nice but not over complicated. Opens at front of palate nicely, a little flatter in middle but a smooth velvety finish.

Keplinger does very nice things with Grenache. Pineapple, cherry, slightly dry on finish with a hint of a spicy note—like a smidge of pepper. 2% Syrah smoothies everything and makes it just a tad bit more lush. Nice. From alban suitcase clone.
