Tuesday, February 5, 2019 - Improved as the night went on.
I'm a sucker for N. CA Grenaches, so it is no wonder that I really enjoyed this! That said, this isn't a wine for deep introspection -- it shouts (but doesn't scream) it's support of hedonistic pursuits and a sense of carpe diem.
Blue and red fruits (more weighted towards blue) with a lovely perfume nose with a hint of smokiness I found enticing. Thoroughly enjoyable, and probably better to enjoy sooner than later as long as it is given a little air...
