nose: nice and easy nose of red fruits accompanied by some underbrush and some black fruit tones with some black pepper hiding underneath
taste: nice and easy with red and black fruits mostly and a nice snap of black pepper on the back end
overall: a really nice wine, especially for the price. Obviously not to be confused with a CdP, but this has a really good basis for old world grenache with in the pocket flavors that give you exactly what you want. While there may not be much depth on this, its still a very enjoyable wine and a good introduction into grenache based wines

Lighter than previous vintages, the tannins are mild and the fruit very approachable. This is a very drinkable wine now--not sure it has much that will age in the cellar.

To quote Mr Broadbent, this is undramatically drinkable...

drank with spinach-stuffed chicken... delicious dusty taste... even better after decanting... definitely plan to have again.
