Decanter Magazine Review
Rated 94
Winemaker Randall Grahm combines 96% Grenache with 4% Syrah, ensuring the stems are fully lignified for 50% whole cluster fermentation in stainless steel. Aged 12 months in a combination of used puncheons and stainless. Alluring fruit aromas of strawberry and cherry with raspberry nuanced by white pepper, rose petal florals and tangerine peel. Medium-bodied with perfectly ripe and nicely grippy tannins, it gives way to emerging blue fruit fireworks with bright, juicy raspberry and cranberry fruit and wild herbs through a salty mineral finish that builds with intensity balanced by fresh citrusy acidity - a splendidly complete wine. Drinking Window 2024-2032.
