Tasting Notes: I think this is one of the most French Grenache we have ever made. On the nose California pepper tree, oak forest and a light char. Bright limestone acidity and balanced tannin with bay leaf and eucalyptus under cherry plum fruit. Lingering finish, perfect with barbequed vegetables or red meat. -Gelert
