As noted by others, this is a very nice Grenache. There is a lot of fruit. With me, the predominant taste registered as blue berries, but I can see how other fruits might come to mind.

Grenache Smackdown (Wally's, Arlington Heights): nose: juicy and ripe nose filled with black fruits, liqueur tones, black cherries and dark red fruits with a touch of red fruits. Good depth and filling with good balance and fruit
taste: very full bodied on the palate with tones of black licorice, black fruits, liqueur tones, and black cherries. Ripe tones on the palate with that is filling with good weight on the palate
overall: a real quality grenache. Very new world with ripe fruit, but is balanced out and has good depth. Has seemed to do well with a touch of age on it as there is quality balance on the nose and its not too ripe or overtly stewed like some aussie grenaches can be

Grenache at Momo's: Blind Red 3 - Deeply colored with sweet blackberry juice. Juicy, unstructured smelling. Luch and bit more red fruit flavored on the palate. A bit simple. Subtle aromas of swimming pool water. Pleasant, if a bit one-dimensional. Hopefully not expensive, in which case it's QPR. This is apparently a higher end version of the Yangarra Park Kendall Jackson label. 15.8% alcohol.

Still love this wine - big berry flavors and nose. Outstanding and still drinking well.

Drinking great right now. Blackberry nose, followed by loads of pure rasberry flavors and a long finish.
