  Serious Grenache, medium to full body, tart raspberry and dark cherry fruit, velvety mouthfeel and long finish. Spicy bite, tannic structure still fully intact. Good balance. CH rarely disappoints.

  This wine needed 15 minutes of air to blow off some volatile compounds. After that it was quite smooth, nicely mellow and mature. I will probably finish up my last bottle in the next 6 months, it's probably just starting on the downward slope right now.

  Thought these were all gone and found this in bottom back row what a great find. these CH Grenache have always been a great drinking wine. On open it smelled like cherry pie first taste little tight gave it 30-40 min decant and opened to a smooth raspberry fruit. Tannins well resolved and in a good window might go another year or two but enjoyed finding it now.

  Decanted one hour. Medium body and with a rich mouthfeel, this Aussie Grenache is well balanced with almost Pinot-like structure. Fruit and oak in harmony, with a lingering spice finish. Nice and recommended.

  The nose really had me thinking this was older than it was blind but the palate was youthful, bold and with warmth that was valued on cold November evening.
