This wine is medium-dark in the glass. The nose is full of cherry, plum, blackberry, and an herbal note. On the palate, earthy tones shroud the fruit, while a healthy set of tannins excite the tongue. The finish is medium length and the savory notes linger the longest. Pair this wine with beef, lamb, roasted chicken, or even your favorite smash burger. — 3 months ago

Excited for these wines. A 6 pack of old vine wines arrived from Birichino. This is a great start. Always looking for something different and this doesn’t disappoint. Rustic, funky, but still light. 9.1 — 5 years ago

The mineral is amazing, fruit is bump’n. Recommend multi-bottle purchase. It takes a while to start deciphering the complexities, then it runs out. — 6 years ago

This is fun! Dried Grenache from California makes a lighter, more food friendly wine than it’s dried grape counterparts. Nice acidity, medium concentration, beautiful petal flavors. — 7 years ago

The bottle was opened about three hours prior to dinner, splash decanted and then returned to the bottle. Pours a bright ruby color. On the nose, red cherry and strawberry fruits; comes across a bit alpine? Minerals and other light herbs somewhat nod the mountains...which I guess makes some sense considering the location of Besson Vineyard (the source of the fruit, just outside of the Santa Cruz AVA). This is a Grenache endowed with undeniable structure. The acid is obvious immediately however, it takes a few hours for the tannin monster to show up. This would benefit from a handful of years on the cellar. The Besson Vineyard was planted in 1910. The folks at Birichino Winery were willing to share 1.5 tons of their fruit. 3.5 barrels produced. — 6 years ago
