March 19, 2019 - PNP, drank over 2 nights. Attractive raspberry/strawberry fruit aromatics. Silky texture and a smooth finish. A lot to like.

February 14, 2019 - Lots of white pepper? cranberry and black cherry. It was nice but the pepper was a bit distracting, not sure I ever had a Grenache with so much pepper showing? Interesting bottle

April 21, 2018 - Historic Vineyard Society Tasting, this is a new producer for me. i am not a Grenache lover by any means but this was rich, tasty, with a nose of black cherry, black currants, and pepper, same on the palate, medium body, at its peak, time to enjoy this wine, long finish. this wine is from a vineyard over 100+ years of age and it shows!!!
