September 26, 2020 - Nice acidity and good balance. As was stated by rexmerlot, this wine looks more aged than 7 years in the bottle. A fine effort from Curt.

June 29, 2018 - Clear garnet in color. Looks much older in glass than 6 years. On nose dark chocolate, tobacco, leather, and dried fruit. Nice acidity, med body, elegant tannins, well balanced, black licorice, dark chocolate, spice, dried cranberry on palate. Very nice wine.

February 16, 2018 - Strawberry nose with clean rich entry. Nice mouthfeel as this glides to mid-palate with more strawberry, supple fruit, an herbal note, a spicy tinge, and enough acidity to put all in balance. Chewy tannins add to the satisfying texture. Really a yummy Grenache that is in a good place right now.

P: Med body; ALMOST swtish frt (with some heat?) met by tannic pucker which only somewhat resolves by the LONG, somewhat tannic, slightly bitter finish. NEEDS time, but then? 92 pts WA. [If anyone is interested, wine-searcher still shows one mid-May 2018 source @ $39.99.] -
