A lighter bodied, dry red wine that pairs well with food (and wine). A humdinger of a Grenache with a clean nose and aromas of graphite, black pepper, cherry, strawberry, leather, and licorice. Flavors of raspberries and dried strawberries, grapefruit, fennel, prune, juniper, and rosemary, with wonderful "not too hard, not too soft" grenache tannins and mouthfeel.. Well balanced with up front fruit notes followed by a wash of acid for a balanced finish. At bottling time, I was a bit flummoxed by the lighter color and considered blending with a bit of Syrah. I am glad I chose not to because this is a very grenachy grenache and has beautiful flavors.
