November 29, 2018 - Very intense fruit, compared to WA or French Grenache. Soft mouth to go along with the complex fruit, but followed with a clean, quick acid finish.

March 18, 2017 - It's at it's perfect age.
The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like guava and papaya. It tastes like blackberry and raspberry. The body is medium/full. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity. -
