FEBRUARY PHILLY CT DINNER thanks to Sean for bringing this along. This may be my favorite central coast grenache at the moment. My second chance to taste this. The nose, flavors and finish are just incredible. This is a dense, richly layered, fruit forward - dark, luscious dark cherry, pomegranate and plum fruits layered with pepper, leather, tobacco and cured meats. terrific floral notes and near perfect acidity. I picked up some mint or anise with some additional time in the glass

Much more open than when last tasted in June 2023. But still decanted it for 3 hours. A wonderful — big! — expression of Grenache. Kiss of oak and some cedar notes. Perfumed bouquet. Plush palate. Full bodied. A touch of heat. All balanced. This is still a youngster. Drink 2024 to 2034. Outstanding.

Remarkable already and should put on mid-pallet weight with time.

Just outstanding. One of the best new world grenache I've had. In the same league as SQN and Alban.
