In a great place right now. Still bright fruit but depth and complexity. Love how this Grenache has evolved over the years.

I loved the bright red fruit on this 2012 Paso Robles Grenache when I bought it in 2014. Now has a little dried rose petal, a touch of leather and I would be lying if I didn't say a sousant of Twizzler...but works so well. I love this wine.

Sweet red plums laced with cinnamon sticks, strawberries and spice. Medium body, medium zesty acidity and soft sweet tannins.

White pepper, chewy tannins, black licorice. A bit rustic.

This is a good, but not great incarnation of Cris Cherry's 100% Grenache offering. Lacking the complexity of other vintages, this wine was initially a bit disjoint, then started to come together with some time in the glass, but never developed the layers of flavor that I'm used to from this wine. Still very enjoyable to drink!

Berry explosion. Raspberry, strawberry, blackberry, blueberry on top of a tannic backbone. Excellent.

Wow, knock out aromas of candied strawberry, cherry, rhubarb and herbs. Racy palate with plush easy drinking medium weight fruit. Terrific.

Nice red fruit, needs some time on its side.
