This is new-wave, new-world, energetic Grenache that we're all learning to love.
Ignore the lifted alcohol - you can't taste it. This is charming, pure and very
soft with lovely sweet ripe red fruits and floral notes. Warm white pepper spice
and sage lifts everything up. Round and smooth with subtly grainy tannin,
mineral freshness and a long, tense finish that will unravel with time.
Absolutely terrific.
