March 5, 2024 - Love Will's Grenache. This one comes off as floral, lifted, feminine, yet deep and rich.

December 16, 2023 - As expected, Will's '21 Grenache is terrific. Needs another 3-5 years to reach its peak.

October 7, 2023 - Nice fruit, dusty tannins. This was better after a night in the decanter in the wine room. I would give this another couple years. Good now but seems restrained.

September 22, 2023 - Consumed over two nights. No detailed notes taken, we just consumed this with a certain reverence. The first bottle opened in April 2023 was very tight and unyielding, but this bottle had softened and opened up quite a bit. Still a long life ahead. I'd love to see what this becomes in 2-3 years but I doubt I'll be able to keep my hands off my last bottle that long.
