This is absolutely drinking at peak and is awesome right now. We had this out of little plastic cups (darn it) and it was still great. Juicy red cherry and baked crabapple flavors with subtle spice. The blending grapes really round out the grenache and give it depth and acidity. This is excellent...too bad this was my last one.

Showing very well, but needs a light decant. Excellent balance of acid, tannin, and fruit. Raspberry, dark cherry, mineral, iron, and a hint of smoky herbs. Would rate higher, but it was still a bit tight. Try again in 2020. 92+

Dark cherries with leather, tar, earth and white pepper. The amount of grenache is the blend is evident. Nice acidity on the transition to the mid palette with a noticeably long finish. Good stuff!
