  Decanted and consumed immediately. Since my first bottle in 2015, this wine has totally evolved with an aromatic nose, amazingly fresh fruit on the palate and a richly rewarding finish. Stunning

  a little past its prime. Very good dark fruits but a hint of acid

  Had an off taste, wonder if it was slightly oxidized, will see if other bottle has similar characteristics

  If you like Grenache that is on the fruitier (cherries) side, this is easy drinking with a medium finish and solid structure. Could use a bit more body and the finish could have been longer, but for $40ish it's a good value as a California alternative to fruitier, New World-ish CdP.

  2014 Rhone Rangers Grand Tasting: Perfumed cherry, pomegranate, spice and a hint of floral aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, concentrated, a with a supple texture with soft well integrated tannins and cherry, pomegrante, and spice flavors. Long finish. 91% Grenache from Greywacke Vineyard, and 9% Syrah form Las Madras Vineyard.
