2014 Clos de Gilroy shows medium-dark purple in the glass, with beautiful aromas of cherry, strawberry and raspberry on the nose, augmented by an herbal note for which Grahm’s wines are known. Delightful red fruit on the palate joins some nice savory notes, earth and pepper notably. Light on its feet with a crisp acidity and fairly easy tannins, this is a great wine for sipping - it can even take a chill fairly well.

Easy sipper. Fragrant Grenache style, very dank floral aroma to this vintage.

Riper style Cali Grenache, dark fruit balanced with a core of stony minerality, and a bit of lingering acidity. 14.5% but not hot

Blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, cherry and loamy earth. Good structure and well-integrated tannins.

First whiff super floral perfume, sweet and dry, honey finish. Kinda weird taste…. Like clay? You didn’t dig it a lot

A great expression of Grenache for the price. Wish there were more inexpensive Rhine blends like this from California. Tart cherry and berries. A nice herbaceous quality as well. Great!

Wonderful budget wine. High fruit, high alcohol. Lots of pepper and raspberry.
