Dusty dry, zesty, balanced bitterness and maybe a hint of oak or none at all. Red fruits of cranberry, strawberry and tart red raspberry.. Exuberant, strong and youthful with a touch of earth and twig. All about fruit with tart berry flavors

A joint venture between Eric Solomon and proprietor Nuria Altes, this is an unreal value made from 100% Grenache from vines planted nearly 100 years ago. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by a flowery perfume revealing aromas of forest floor, underbrush, sweet black cherries, raspberries and strawberries. Medium-bodied, ethereal as well as sublime, this finesse-styled Grenache possesses a delicacy that is difficult to believe for such intensity. Consume it over the next 3-4 years. 91 Points The Wine Advocate

Still going strong. Floral nose, with strawberries, black cherries, and some chalky minerality.
