Fragrant in kirsch, spice, and minerality. Zesty and youthful, a little pinched at first but opening up. Great acids and some tannin gives nice structure.

Killer value Grenache - char and eucalyptus, graphite, with soft blackberry and black cherry notes. Acid driven, under ripe style - awesome stuff.

Really rich, more so than I typically like from Grenache, but the spice is nice and structure is well hung, with roasted and grilled meats this is a dandy.

Very delicious wine, it surprised me with the silky fruit notes and texture!

Awesomely flavorful, blossoming, open and nuanced nose with all kind of notes waving and rolling one over another. Smoke, berries, plums, honey, earth - you name it (no veggies though, which is good). Way too young, green, chewy mouth - like eating half-ripe cherries with stones. Give it 3-5 more years and it will rock you.
