  December 28, 2023 - Nose: roses, oak, cherries.
  Taste: some tobacco, tart strawberries, or in your face fruit , subtle but nice with no tanins.
  I like this wine and very surprised that it did not go bad.

  September 23, 2016 - Not my style of Grenache, very lightweight, floral and dominated by spice flavor notes. Don't get me wrong, it is well-made, just not where I head for this varietal.

  August 31, 2015 - Very nice New World Grenache with plenty of elegance. Soft floral fruits, particularly cherry and cranberry, along with violets, mulling spices, and a touch of pepper. The spiciness really hits you on the back middle palate, plenty of nice fruit, but wavers towards the confected at times, though the acidity holds it all up. Wavers between unctuous and thin in the mouth depending at what point you're drinking it. Grenache is an underrated grape in my view and this is a nice New World expression of it, but doesn't quite make my heart sing.

  July 31, 2015 - Incredibly light in color. Tart red fruit nose. Full flavor palate of spice and dark cherry. Nice little wine but I'd let it sit a year to calm.

  July 22, 2015 - There's not much Grenache I like. I like this Grenache. All the pretty red fruit, nice palate weight and doesn't show the high alcohol. Really lovely, and will be better with time.
