Thursday, November 19, 2009 - LA/OC Welcomes Hollowine (Houston's in Irvine): – popped and poured –
– tasted a single glass non-blind over 20 min. –
– 75% Grenache, 16% Petite Sirah, 9% Zinfandel –
A bit funky with American oak and hints of spice on the nose. Color is rustic mahogany, and is of medium depth. Medium bodied on the palate. Earthy, spices, figs & plums - a very elegant style. I would recommend drinking this in the near term.
