This spectacular 100% Grenache is a huge success. It’s so delicious, you can hardly stop drinking it. Just oozes in raspberry and red cherry puree and caramelized, smoky oak richness, yet is thoroughly dry. An amazing, unforgettable wine that establishes a new benchmark for California Grenache from this winery that was an early pioneer in Rhone varieties.——S.H.(10/1/2010)—— 95

A bit too brittle and tart to earn a higher score. Could be bottle shock, but it’s hard to tell. Tasted in May, the wine showed mint-infused cherry flavors and turned sharp on the finish. Made from 100% Grenache. ——S.H.(12/1/2008)—— 85
