December 4, 2019 - Grenache and Mourvèdre
Floral , light black fruit , spice , red cherry, fruit punch , medicinal , medium body, m+ acidity , nice firm fine grained tannins. Alcohol feels slightly pronounced at 13.7% I find this showing nice and a bit more complex than the 2015. -

July 6, 2019 - Grenache-Mourvèdre blend. Extremely aromatic, very bright fruity-floral. Smells quite a lot like an Aviation with its creme de violette and green gin botanicals. On the palate it's quite a lot lighter than its medium-dark color would suggest. Quite stemmy-green, but well balanced here with a nice core of bright and some darker red fruit. Medium acid and fairly tannic still. Probably good with turkey. 100% whole cluster, some time in neutral oak. Grenache from Russian River Valley, Mourvèdre from Mendocino. 13.7%, $40.
