Not at all what I expected - this had a classic S. Rhône Grenache profile. I actually can’t believe this is a product of California. Subtle nose of strawberry, earth, pepper that lacked the power to compare it to a CdP - drinks like a nice CdR. Not enough here to justify the $40+ price in my opinion and there are lots of wines for way less that compare. Still it’s impressive that they were able to produce this where they did. Pretty wine.
