RATINGS

98Jeb Dunnuck

...rich, savory, almost Rayas-like bouquet of gamey red and black fruits, ground pepper, toasted spice, spring flowers, and hints of bloody meat. Beautifully textured, full-bodied, and elegant on the palate, with plenty of stem influence... ...complex, layered, brilliantly done... ...a stunning example of Grenache from California!

95The Wine Advocate

Medium garnet-purple in color, it kicks off with meaty scents of beef drippings and peppered salami, giving way to dark fruits—blackberries, mulberries and black cherries—with hints of black soil, truffles, tapenade and a touch of mocha. Concentrated and full-on full-bodied in the mouth, this delivers bags of perfumed black fruits with lots of savory sparks and ripe, rounded tannins, finishing long and earthy.

TYPE

Red Wine, Grenache

One of the most popular red varieties planted, it ripens late and prefers hot dry climates. It probably originated in Spain, where it is still widely grown. Grenache is best known for its use in Southern Rhone wines, including those of Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
