Fresh, rocky and firm...offers a cherry core, with a pleasing dusty mineral essence, hints of wild herbs, sage and picturesque crunchy red fruit that shines with purity and finesse. Full-bodied, the generously-layered Grenache unwinds on the palate to reveal seductive crunchy red fruit tones, delicate mineral tension, a firm, tannic edge and a slightly spicy note on the finish.
...extremely perfumed on the nose with red rose petals, Mandarin orange rind, white pepper and shades of beef drippings...palate is rich and concentrated with bright underlying acidity. Clean and dense, showing beautiful finesse.
Châteauneuf du Pape-like notes of kirsch liqueur, wild strawberries, sappy flowers, and baking spices...impressive, richly textured, concentrated, structured wine... I love the overall balance here...

...lifted and remarkably pretty. Rosy florals and incense complement dried strawberries...pure pleasure on the palate, weighty and velvety yet lifted by brisk acidity. Mineral-tinged wild berry fruits slowly saturate... What a beauty.
An appealing ripe sweetness rises up, but it's not confected. Good acidity, with some denim-like tannins coming after the satin-textured red fruits and more sweetness on the finish from the oak. Medium- to full-bodied, well balanced... Flattering in texture.
