  I was a little concerned at first. The wine tasted like grape juice. After 10 or 20 minutes it got to where it needed to be. Fruit was present and it had some medium tannins with a hint of acidity.

  Awesome, gorgeous-full of bouquet and evolving fruit with mild funk and typical ripe Paso cherry, black fruit notes. Restrained in extract but with bwautiful balance- I love this wine

  This was wonderful. Rich and deeply flavored in the characteristic house style. Drinking perfectly now; drink soon.

  Opened, poured an hour later. Purple, almost black in the glass. Purple and black fruit on the nose - Grenache completely overwhelmed by its bigger, more masculine CdP varietal partners. Massive and sweet on the palate. A little flabby in places. Fair amount of heat on the round, warm finish. Drink up - seems a bit stewed at this point.
