  Tasty red berry, violet, and hint of savory notes on the nose and refreshing palate with moderate finish. Quite enjoyable!

  Enjoying this a lot. It’s generous and giving - I do think it’s in its prime window. A touch lighter/less viscous than the Saxum version of the same grape/vineyard, though it shares a ton of the same character... couldn’t be anything but Grenache. Bright, touch of raspberry, tar/tobacco, earth. Lovely, fun wine.

  PnP - Day 1 - I served it at room temperature and tasted like a laser beam. Started to get better in the glass after 2 hours. Corked it and threw it in the fridge over night.
  Day 2 - Pulled it out of the fridge, uncorked and waited 30 minutes. Wowee-zowee, this baby was humming. Tons of beautiful Grenache notes, beautiful fruit, acid, herbs and violets in wonderful balance. A beauty to be enjoyed, but totally chuggable as well.

  Deep ruby to purple, almost opaque.
  Dark cherries, other black fruits, musty earth, wet cellar, black pepper, black olives, figs.
  Med+ body, med+ finish, wine is soft and plush, fruit is well integrated.
  Darker fruit notes more than i was expecting w/ the grenache, less strawberry and more savory Syrah notes dominate the palate.
  Dark berrries, olives, pepper, cola, nose comes through the palate.
  Really interesting and enjoyable.
  Well made.
