  At first, this came across a bit thin but quickly rounded into fine form, was decanted approx. 2 hrs. What a unique WA Grenache, taking a very elegant and refined approach within the funky frame of the Rocks AVA. Hard to pinpoint a specific fruit descriptor, but definitely in the red spectrum, loads of spices (whole cluster perhaps?) some white pepper on the respectable finish. What a great change of pace WA red.

  Funky first day, better second day. It was good with carrots with hummus, also celery. The spicy pesto pasta helped it chill out.

  This has an absolutely lovely, classic Grenache nose, very perfumed and pretty. The lightness - in color and palate intensity - that others have noted is, to me, a good thing: a sign of relatively gentle extraction, which is nice to see in a grape that is too often pushed into dull heaviness. Unfortunately, there is a stark bitterness to the palate that throws the wine off-kilter. A nice wine in many ways but ultimately falling a little short.

  Big flavors, with Rocks-like funk. Modest structure. It seems fully resolved. Drink by 2025 or so.
