December 30, 2022 - This bottle was downed over two nights several days back. It drank so well with the signature I. Brand lightness with its red fruit and floral components. This is a style of Grenache that I'm coming to adore in '22 after trying a few others treated in a similar manner (e.g. Sandlands). The wine didn't have any electrifying acidity, but oh was it pretty and soft going down. The wild strawberry and sweet and sour tang went equally well with or without food. The wine seems to be impeccably balanced and sure to continue to provide massive pleasure over the coming decade or longer. What a regal wine.
