Tasting notes
Medium ruby in color and containing 5% Syrah, the 2015 Grenache Estate opens with crushed strawberries and raspberries with touches of orange peel, powdered sugar, autumn leaves, underbrush and potpourri. The palate is medium-bodied and intense with loads of amaro-like spices, a grainy frame and just enough freshness, finishing long and layered.

There's 5% Syrah in the 2015 Grenache, which reveals a deep ruby/purple color as well as beautiful notes of black raspberry, blackberries, crushed flowers, hints of salted meat, and iodine. Incredibly pure, focused, and beautifully textured as well as flawlessly balanced, it glides over the palate with no sensation of weight or heaviness. This is another terrific expression of Grenache from a master winemaker.
