Doesn't show its age (Stelvin closure); red and black fruits and chocolate notes; high alcohol; oak treatment apparent; structured and viscous; restrained acidity.

More concentrated and chocolatey than expected for new world Grenache. Dark baked berry fruit, velvety with a nice long pepper finish. A fine effort although i would be hard pressed to identify this as Grenache. Nevertheless, beautifully balanced and smooth juice.

Wine Reviews: A Selection of Rhone-style Wines: SRP: $30. A dark, ripe nose of blackberry, black pepper, dark chocolate, oak, and sweet herbs. On the palate, the chocolate notes really come out – and the wine shows great depth and concentration, along with beautiful acidity that leads to a lingering finish.

Very nice Grenache. Concentrated flavors, including medium & dark fruit, chocolate, herbs, spice, and a whole lot more. Very sophisticated.
