Well, just punch me in the face. This wine is painful to drink without food, even with ample air time. Unapologetically hedonistic. Better on day two. Walloping and almost Scotch like on the palate with brandied cherries, spice cake and dried (bordering on sweet) fruits. Is it Amarone or a Manhattan?

Obviously complex and well made, I just don’t know what I’d pair this with and it’s quite intense on its own.

every time I try a new sans liege wine, I feel good about joining their club spontaneously after trying just one glass at fig and thistle.

An intense Mourvèdre with lots of potential for great food.

strawberry and rhubarb pie hit the nose wild the palate is dazzled with black fruit, a solid spice backbone, grainy tannins and a lush black cherry finish. Big body big flavors

Not bad for a new world Grenache. Good spice but doesn't overdo it.
