June 9, 2023 - Color/App: translucent medium ruby core -> diffuse ruby/garnet rim; medium + viscosity. Bouquet of raspberries and boysenberries, red licorice and some dusty bramble. Red fruit palate (cherries, pomegranate, berries, etc.) with some savoury sage, approachable tannins and a nice acidic spine. Finishes a bit short but scores a point for exuberant juiciness. I'd drink this now if I had any more as I don't see this getting any more complex....

May 4, 2023 - Beautiful slightly brambly raspberry, cherry, and blackberry fruit with a little spice balanced with some nice acidity on the finish. Delicious!

October 20, 2022 - Beautiful Grenache. Kirsch aromas had to be coaxed out of the glass. Medium plus body, not over the top thick or fruity, but well balanced with blackberry, blueberry, licorice on the long finish.

September 29, 2022 - Dense and primary with gorgeous raspberry and bitter chocolate profile, along with walnut notes that were initially a bit much but integrated after an hour. I would give this an hour decant if serving now. Well done.

September 2, 2022 - Blackberries, black cherry and plum. Full bodied, very smooth with great mouthfeel. This is delicious with a long finish. Excellent 100% Grenache, up there with the best.
