Community Tasting Note

• Crunge Likes this wine: 94 points

  August 13, 2022 - I've seen Grenache listed as everything from Pinot-like to being a super heavyweight. Helen definitely gets the super heavyweight aspect out of her Grenache. Year in and year out, the Basilisk is a full-bodied, luscious wine.
  
  The 2018 smells like cherries and candied apples. The palate is deep, rich cherry and plenty of slate. Unlike some previous vintages, there's no pepper that makes me swear there's Syrah in it. This one is pure Grenache with some earth. Absolutely delicious. The only knock is that it needs some more age as the tannins are a bit rough today.
