A technically illegal cuvee of 100% Grenache, this is really lush and ripe at over 15% alcohol, yet it doesn’t show any heat. Instead, it’s a mouthfilling explosion of fruit ranging from black cherries to yellow peaches, yet it’s not at all heavy or fudge-like. With some time in the glass, slightly raisined notes appear. So drink it over the next year or two.——J.C.(11/15/2006)—— 90
