  January 18, 2012 - Ohhhhhhhh...this was simply a magnificent wine....MAGNIFICENT. It was hard to get over the ample levels of concentration in fruit and power, coupled with the lightness and ease of access this wine offered. I haven't had a grenache like this in a long time and the timing could not have been better. Everything about this wine screamed of purity.
  
  Immediately fresh and bright on the nose offering brambly red fruit and cinnamon/clove spice, coupled with just the right amount of freshly broken stone to complement the fruit and give it a deeper level of freshness. In the mouth, more of the same. Trying to nail down which fruit descriptor best describes the wine is like watching Rocky try to catch Mickey's chicken. Ultimately, it does not matter though. The point is, this is Grenache. If you want to taste one of the, if not THE greatest example of what this grape can do, get in line for the 05 Rayas
