  Fruity, drinkable. OK, but not very interesting.

  Aromas of black pepper and red fruit. Soft, pleasant flavors of blackberry and vanilla. Firm finish of sweet cherry. Well made, well balanced, true to type. If you're a big grenache fan this is a home run, for the rest of us it's still a very good wine at a great value.

  A very polished expression of garnacha. Shows restraint with the use of new oak allowing the peppery brambly grenache character to show through. Red fruit with great moderate food-friendly acidity. The balance is really key with this wine; it comes across as very finessed. I'd also say there's some syrah in this too from the darker berry flavors. This easily beats many Rhone wines at $20-$30 and I got it for $18. Ready to drink now, but could probably handle a couple years of age too. I'm getting more and drinking in the short term. Could not believe the listed 14.5% alcohol. This wine carries it as light as a feather.

  Full, dark and plumy with a sweet, sweet nose. Surprisingly light, fresh and balanced in the mouth with fine tannin and moderate acidity. There is no denying this wine its southern origins but it mellowed out nicely over three days. I would really like to try this in two or three years.
