June 15, 2020 - Phenomenal nose, aromatics jump out the glass. A shame that this bottling isn't made anymore as their is such purity here, a deft winemaking touch using fruit from century old vines.

October 2, 2019 - IMO, this is the best grenache made in America. Unfortunately, it was such a tough sell that Kenny stopped making it. From 100+ year old dry farmed (an maybe own rooted) vines in Alexander Valley. The nose is a warm red berry compote with layers of bark-type spices and a few herbs that aren't too aggressive. I've said this before, and scoff if you will, but this really reminds me of Rayas, or at least Theodoric Grand Pin (but really more Rayas) with it's litheness and grace. I think Pax still makes a wine from this vineyard, but it just isn't as good.
