Intense black cherry and mineral aromas. Fresh, ripe, with crunchy fruit and grainy tannins. Good balance and style. Speaks of its origins. Lovely. Alc: 14.5%.

This old-vine Grenache is unique and surprising, with its touch of lilac and currant on the nose, followed by full-bodied, lush berry and currant flavors. It’s tannic and needs to age, but should develop into a velvety, integrated treat with a few years on it. One of the better kosher wines on the market.——S.K.(4/1/2007)—— 86
