Medium ruby, hinting to garnet, with high viscosity (14.5% ABV). The nose of this Grenache has medium (-) intensity aromas of red raspberry, baking spice, rhubarb, lavender, orange peel, and juniper. The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity, a medium (+) body and medium tannins. Medium (+) intensity flavors of raspberry, red currants, rhubarb, orange peel, and baking spice. The finish is medium in length and charming- adding a point where the intensity of the nose lost one. It’s had five years to meld and has done so nicely, a smooth mouthfeel and juicy red flavors without much intervention. I am planning to pair with roasted suckling pork and sweet potatoes. It gets 90 points from me and for $15- 5 stars. Drink till 2029. Salut….
