2/2, 1st one cooked, This one however was really pretty good, Light ruby red, really AvA driven floral on the nose. All in all a good drinking wine from that region, It's a delicate wine and I can see why some of these are not holding up, Drink now.

Brown ruby red. Initially, heavy alcohol and flour on the nose. The heavy alcohol dissipated fairly quickly (about one hour breathing in the bottle) into fresh and lively raspberries, strawberries, touch of oak, caramel and soft pepper on the nose. Interesting and nice. Ripe cherries and strawberries with subtle tannins and a fairly long, lingering finish. Nice wine.

Spicy with wood emerging on the nose covering rather red fruited notes that are framed with hints of green strawberry tops and a touch of candied fennel herbaceousness. With plenty of fruit up front, this starts out rather large scaled, juicy, and plush with sweet cherry and strawberry fruit, along with some sweet, toasty wood spice. Theres not much tannin here, and the alcohol (15% on the label) is obvious on the backend and the hot finish. Falling off a bit on the palate, this feels like the sugar got ahead of the flavor development here, though i kind of like the green herb accents. At its core this is not notably better than a good Cotes du Rhone.

Sour cherry and tamarind on the nose. Lots of sour cherry and tamarind on the palate too with some tannins.

Ok, not great. A little weedy and lacking vibrancy for my taste.

Dried fruit, almost borderline raisin. Not sure if it was intended style, or baked bottle

Big and massive red berry fruit. Richly styled for sure. Does California Grenache balance Grenache?
