February 26, 2022 - A crowd favorite, juicy red fruits, quick splash decant had it in perfect form. 2012 was such a great vintage!

December 5, 2020 - Had this for a second time in two months. A hardy Grenache, if there is such a thing. Rich fruits with a deep undercurrent of yumminess. It actually tasted better at the two hour mark so I will hang on a year or two before I drink my last bottle.

January 9, 2020 - Pop and pour. Served with a slight chill (65-68 F) and then allowed to warm up.
Dark, vibrant purple color.
Nose offers ripe strawberries and some brown spice.
Tad bit sweet on the entry. (Could be the alcohol as it is labelled at 15.3%.)
Nice red berries with a floral note. Some white pepper spice on the back end.
Nice wine.
