Floral and fruity aromatics with cranberries, violets, fresh mint, and plenty of cherry. Sometimes California does Grenache just right. You wouldn’t confuse this for a Rhône version but it is a pretty good imitation. Medium bodied with earthy notes and mild acidity throughout, there’s a warmth and fullness on the tongue. Cocoa dust, cherry pie, black cherry, and a good bit of licorice on the palate, with oak showcased on the back end. Drinking almost perfectly right now.
