  No hyper-extraction here, this is a marvelous food wine. Still fresh and brisk, with a nose and palette dominated by strawberries with other red fruits in the background. Pale color and light-medium body. Excellent lift, which I don't often find in non-Pinot American reds. Would buy again.

  Holding up nicely for 10 year old Napa Grenache. A little smokiness upon opening that burned off and uncovered a pronounced strawberry jam character with hints of white pepper as secondary. Held up to a veal chop with truffle butter but really stood out with a quinoa stuffed pepper, accenting the white pepper note in the wine. Nice bottle. Have to Love Howell Mtn!

  Light red, strawberry jam color. Cloudy.
  Sugary fruit compote on the nose: raspberries, strawberries, peach and fig. Vanilla and mascarpone with white pepper in the background.
  Delicious interplay of tart fruit and ripe plum and fig, baked peach pit. Lively acidity.

  Really nice grenache. Started spicy but that faded with air. Nicely balanced. Really complimented food. Short finish.
