Still a tasty, fruit-centric grenache. Has not picked up any nuance with time in the cellar, but very easy to drink. Would serve with a first course or by itself.

This was a very flexible bottle, which matched very well with a pork course, and did OK with short rib. The rib wasn’t the best of matches as the core of fruit was muted by the sauce, and that fruit is this one’s best feature. Easy to drink, but I plan to drink my remaining bottle sooner while the raspberry element- so central when it was younger- hangs on.

Meh. 4 years since my last btl, and this hasn't improved very much. Fruit forward nose, with a touch of secondary development...maybe a bit of leather. On the palate, good acidity, and loads of peppery dark fruit. A little too jammy in its presentation. Had it with lamb, and it was not a bad wine, with which it was ok, but just didn't really do it for us.

Balanced, paired well with pork and vegetable kabobs on the grill.
