  December 19, 2015 - Cracked black peppercorn spiced with sappy dark plums. Needs more refinement. A little rough on the edges.

  May 17, 2014 - Either this has gone dormant, as the lovely Grenache fruit is very unbalanced with the acids and tannin, which I suspect is the case... Hold 5 more years for reintegration, or drink up very quickly as it is a pleasant enough wine in the first 45 minutes. One reason I don't like holding inexpensive all Grenache wines. It may see better days, but most likely was intended for consumption last year or prior. I really enjoyed my other 2 bottles that I consumed fairly early. Grenache seems to let me down when holding it over the long term. I don't want garrigue to be the main theme of flavors along with alcohol and some muddled fruit. I could find plenty of liqueurs that do that better. Still a winemaker signed bottle so in the 80s for shear good memories.

  March 2, 2014 - This wine deserves a 91+ rating and a case has disappeared from my small cellar. If anyone knows where the 2009 can be found let me know. If you have tried the 2010 and can comment let me know too.

  September 21, 2013 - Polished, smooth and big. Very ripe fruit shows its warm climate origin and finishes with a nice touch of bitterness. $40 off the list at Fiola.
