  Grenache Smackdown (Wally's, Arlington Heights): nose: great nose of honey, brioche, fresh picked lemons, and lovely tones of peach blossoms. excellent depth with great mature layering at this point. Mature, but far from over the hill as there was great balance on the nose
  
  taste: lovely and airy tones of meyer lemons, brioche, fresh picked lemons, tangy citrus tones, and pretty tones of peach blossoms. Very silky medium/light feel with medium acidity that still supports the wine
  
  overall: a mature white, and lovely. Well balanced with great depth, I love drinking aged whites as they bring flavors that are very interesting and complex, and this one fully fits the bill
