August 18, 2023 - Much smoother than a 15.4% alcohol wine should taste like. Aromas of red fruit with rich fresh strawberries. Medium red in color turning burgundy and translucent nearing the rim showing a bit of its age. Medium to long finish similar to the nose, giving way to citrus notes of orange with no sense of oak. Medium in body with well integrated tannins and medium+ mouthwatering acidity. Looking forward to my other bottles.

April 22, 2023 - Big juicy Grenache with some complexity and length to the finish. I thought this was similar to and on a par with the Raspail Ay Gigondas that we drink a lot of.

April 21, 2023 - This is the best Grenache that I have ever had rom California. Aromas of fresh strawberries, red licorice, blood orange, sage, and rosemary leads the way to the palate that is fresh and intense with great energy. Tastes of strawberries, lemon peel, and white pepper continue on the finish for well over a minute!
