  Tart strawberry, cranberry, anise, herbal/mineral finish. Slight TCA which subsides.
  A cool climate Grenache. With air the fruit “ripens” a bit and the wine really comes together with a pepper note and eucalyptus note. Done in neutral oak and the wine reflects that with minimal (the pepper note?) oak influence.
  
  Likely to improve with more cellar time. Drink or hold.

  There isn’t a button to select “I Love It” so I’m going to smash the “I Like It” button. This wine is EXCELLENT!!! The QPR for this Grenache is off the charts. Bold red fruit flavors with an equal balance of cherry, strawberry, and cranberry are all prominent on the pallet. The oak integrates well and the earthy mineral flavors are all on point. This wine is very well made! Boom!
