On the nose this blend has a profusion of violets and cassis with hints of cedar and leather adding to it. Bright and elegant on the palate, there is a succession of currants and raspberry fruit accented with toasty cedar overtones. Well integrated and balanced the flavors last well into the very long finish, supported by round tannins. This wine is very enjoyable now but also will show rewards from aging. A great pairing with heartier foods, grilled entrees, aged and ripe cheeses.

Our first Grenache is light ruby with brick overtones in color and has strawberries, rhubarb and hints of leather in the nose. Ripe forward fruit with mulberry, cardamom, tea leaves and bits of leather on the first sip, it's medium body is belied by the depth and melange of flavors that make it seem richer than it is. The flavors meld into a long finish with strawberry and Dutch cocoa lingering on the palate balanced by soft tannins and grapey acids. Grenache is a fun, delicious and very versatile varietal as shown by this wine. It's wonderful on it's own, it pairs very well with hard cheeses, earthy stews, grilled foods including salmon and tuna, fowl, red meats, vegetables and tofu and it's a great foil for lighter red sauce on pasta. Enjoy it while it lasts.
