Similar to past reviews with raspberry and black cherry on the nose and bright flavors of red currant, cocco, and cedar. Very pure and clean, with a high acidity. No rush to drink and best to decant.

Very elegant and refined. The grenache really shows through this year and it is lighter in style and body but full profile on flavors and finish. Truely a great wine.

(Syncline Cellars Cuvee Elena Columbia Valley) Fairly closed on the nose when first opened with wild blueberries and currant. As it opens up, still restrained but the blueberry becomes more expressive. Beautifully polished on the palate with abundant smooth fruit, herbal streaks, and barely a trace of oak. An elegant wine that needs time to open up. 70% Grenache, 17% Mourvedre, 9% Carignan, 2% Cinsault, 2% Syrah. Northridge, Coyote Canyon, and McKinley Springs vineyards. 14.3% alcohol. 275 cases produced.

I didn't take specific notes, but this is drinking very well right now! Red fruits, very smooth, maybe a little bit of cocoa on the finish.

Be sure to open an hour before drinking. Once opened up, this is a very elegant wine.
