Dusty cherry, sous Bois and some hoisin on the nose. Very pure. Perfectly aged and ready to rip. Yummm with meat stew and braised vegetables

Savory medium full and crushable . Disappeared as fast at the rack of St. Louis ribs it was paired with.

So good! High toned spicy fruits. Smells like winter honey - dark, rich and floral.

100% Grenache, aged all in oak. They try to avoid too much sun so the grapes don't ripen so much the character of the terroir is lost. Still, grape bubblegum on the nose and very sweet and big on the palate with notes of rolled cigar, black tea, white chocolate and black pepper.
