March 31, 2024 - This deep red and clear wine was poured at home without decanting. It had a nose of ripe cherries mixed with a noticeable amount of dark spices. In the glass were flavours of these same rip cherries mixed with ground spices and some oak. I also got some leafy flavours as well as some steak.

November 23, 2023 - Is there a better US Grenache, I don’t think so. Soft but full of flavor, simply unlike any other US produced Grenache that I’ve had.
So sad so little produced.1 person found this helpful Comment -

September 23, 2023 - This was poured at home without decanting. The wine was deep purple in colour and slightly cloudy. It had a very strong nose of ripe cherries mixed with some nuts and a bit of iodine. In the glass were flavours of those ripe cherries, cassis and some mint. The tannins were still very strong while the acidity was at a mid level. The flavours lingered for a long time.
