It was good, but I fear I let it go past its prime. I remember this wine in its younger years and it was vibrant and alive. Now, it just didn't have that spark. If you've got 'em, I'd say drink 'em up!

Another Santa Barbara Trip; 7/15/2016-7/16/2016 (Los Olivos, Santa Barbara): Much darker in style Grenache than, say, the Stoplman tasted earlier; more black fruited on the nose, with some herbs in the background. On the palate, serious acidity and good weight, and very spicy maybe in a Gigondas direction? Loads of chewy tannin on the finish with some heat; maybe too much structure for my taste.
