Still drinking great, although some of the fruit is dissipating, leaving the tertiary flavours (and especially the minerality) more in the fore. I will likely not wait 2 years to drink the next one.

A muted nose of some cherry and spice, ruby in color. A medium bodied red, with cherry, raspberry, cinnamon and some spice on thin finish, too much acidity, expected more. www.winelx.com

Expectations are a dangerous thing and can ruin your enjoyment of a bottle before ever giving it a real shot. Having opened many bottles of K Vintners produce, you'd typically expect a big full bodied, long finishing, (some would feel over the top), brute. Stylistically, this wine is a surprise. Colored more like a Pinot, with delicate flavors, albeit a very long finish. It's not a S. Rhone, nor a Priorat or even a Red Mountain Grenache. An expression all its own. Interesting, though I would agree with others about a bit of an odd flavor across the finish. I'd expect this bottle has another year or two in the bottle before more secondary flavors take over. Leave your expectations at the door and enjoy this wine for what it is.

Maybe the best turkey wine ever?
This just keeps evolving and getting more complex.
Just a fun wine to drink.
Drink now thru 2025/6

Well made Grenache that has some bright red fruits. Drink in the near term.
