  Typical Paso grenache flavors, think Herman Story On the Road. Chocolatey. Needed a few hours to open up. In a good place now.

  Decanted for 40 minutes during which the wine opened and darkened from a medium garnet to a dark garnet. The wine is a blend of 90% Grenache + 10% Syrah. On the medium bodied palate there was a preponderance of darker earthy notes, along with some red fruit (cherry) and spice. The acidity was more than needed to balance. The presence of high earth notes and high acidity are a sure sign of age, so drink up soon.

  Excellent wine. Tobacco and spice notes make it really unique.

  Nice bright and vibrant wine with wild berry and raspberry fruit. Has notes of earth and minerals on the mid-palate with subtle caramel on the finish. Nice smooth texture to it with good acidity and finish.
