A little disappointing. Its Grenache and if you're into that, this probably works. I found it a bit insipid. It had lots of different things going on but I wasn't crazy about many of them. i will use the other 8 bottles for parties and third or fourth bottles of the evening.

Nose of some fleshy citrus & a hint of pear, all in a mildly perfume-esque style. Front end brings the citrus with a crisp yet slight viscous feel and the finish is somewhat rounded with plush, fleshy fruit tones. It's good, but there's heat to the finish that is a little distracting. Not terribly so, but it's there. 13.5% alcohol says the label. Nice mouthfeel, good flavors, but slightly hot.

60% grenache blanc and 40% clairette. Very full nose: crisp and almondy. Full, mouthfilling palate, but ultimately, it feels rather simple.
