Outstanding wine! Spicy, savory, beautifully balanced, restrained plum and long finish. Will let the other bottle age for a few years - the promise is tantalizing.

Really an outstanding wine. I'm not a huge grenache fan but this wine really turns that grape on its head -- a lot more savory and spice then you see from southern Rhone and other California grenache blends. The interplay between spice and bright red fruit is perfect here. Every wine I taste from Raj makes me think differently about how wine can be made in CA/OR and how differently grapes can taste than I expect.

Fantastic wine! A nice fruit core wrapped in earthy tannins. A bit tart, spicy and savory. The earthy notes give it some heft.
