  From Ojai vineyards website (nothing to add, they nailed it!): This site’s “Grenache-ness” is intense, with an earth-inflected fruity aroma which fills the glass like vapor. Muddled berries with a hit of kirsch, lavender and allspice—this expands outward, and that juicy berry medley fleshes out a supple palate with spicy tannins.
  
  FRUITY GRACEFUL SPICY

  13% whole clusters is the deal. Smells like Grenache. And tasty like Grenache too. Soft and easy but not all that interesting. Mybe its because of day two.

  Bright cherries, raspberries, sundried raisins with accent of floral notes. Over-ripened black fruits on the palate. Wine is light body and felt a little watery.

  Day 1 this was a bit closed after PnP and even a few hours later. Day 2 was much better and open. Balanced with bright red/cherry flavors, med acidity, light tannins, and med/long finish. Decent QPR from wine.com using a good coupon but I wouldn’t pay full retail for it. I liked it.
