This always hilariously labeled bottling begins with ample aromas of baked boysenberry, star anise, black licorice, wet slate and rose extract on the nose. The spice rack of Red Hots cinnamon candies cuts deep into the cherry and strawberry core, with buoyant acidity and firm tannins.

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.
