A Grenache/Syrah blend. Lively red color. Currants and cherries on the nose. Lush fruit on the palate but nothing flabby or overdone. Cherries, raspberries, blackberries. Beautifully resolved tannins, nice acidity, excellent balance. Becomes more elegant with air. Finishes long with dark fruits. This might benefit from a short decant. Impressive. At peak and should drink at this level for 3 to 4 years. Alas, my last bottle.

Really nice Grenache blend. Plenty of life and fruit left but drank wonderfully from the get go. Tannins offer support and backbone but hang out in the background. Nice cranberry/blackberry with the right ouamount of mineral and dirt. Could go a couple more years but in its prime now.

Lovely grenache blend with hints of eucalyptus in a deeply extracted and intense fruit. Well balanced alcohol and very drinkable. Lovely!
