This label is gaining my respect. Surprisingly, this has improved significantly as it’s aged. Mostly iron ore and red granite minerals, with with overly ripened, crushed strawberry and juicy raspberry. Component elements have melded, with lingering acidity providing balance and the minerals providing complexity. I wouldn’t have given his wine a second thought two years ago, just another “poolside quaffer”…amazing what some time can do! Don’t drink too cold as it shines as it warms and aerates in the glass. Drink now.

Great rose, lots of strawberry, rose water, peach. Great wine for grilled salmon on a warm evening. Put this next to Miraval. Very close yet Bonny Doon is half the price.

Primarily Grenache (79%) with small amounts of six other grapes. Complex aromas of strawberry, peach, melon, tropical fruits and dusty earth. There is also a hint of brioche and a very creamy texture (lees contact?) Touch of pepper spice on the finish. Refreshing!

Drink now. The strawberry and raspberry notes are beginning to overpower this wine. We should have drunk it earlier.
