Not sure I've had an Oregon grenache tbh. Medium ruby to garnet color with some transparency and light bricking. Aromas of cherry, strawberry, plum, earth, tar, graphite, and a little rose. Medium body and finish, medium (+) acid, and flavors of cherry, strawberry, lemon, orange, tangerine, vanilla, and minerals. Worked well with burgers off the grill, sweet potatoes, and sweet corn, but would be even better with BBQ chicken off the grill I bet. I could also see lamb or duck working well here.

Still drinking well, though definitely starting to fade. Medium bodied and dry. The palate shows nice red fruit up front with cherries, strawberries, raspberries, and cranberries leading the way. Secondary notes of vanilla, oak, and light spices. Medium acidity, mild tannins and medium+ alcohol. Lovely, easy drinking Grenache. Will look for subsequent vintages.

Low tannin with some good fruit and a little white pepper spice. Even though sealed under glass stopper, it looked much older, but that may be just due to low extraction. On initial taste I felt it might be a little high ABV - it never went away, but with time it blew off enough.

Pleasant enough but very light. Smooth with a nice nose but nothing special.
