12’ Harmon Story Late Bloomer. Wine nerd herd virtual tasting. Rusty red in the glass. This Grenache is without a doubt on the lighter style. Aromas of red cherry, salt & pepper, leather.
Palate- It’s very clean. No bumps in the road. Blueberries, blackberries lavender & toasty. Seamless in texture. Finishing off with nice floral notes.

12' I'm amazed how complex this is . 45 min decant. Dark black raspberry, cured meats, spicy black jam. The back of the palate is finishing with such elegance . I'm wanting another glass . Enjoy this wine in the next 5/7 years.

Blueberry, blackberry, raspberry, cherry jam, bit of wood, loads of alcohol. Dry but fruit forward. Bitter orange rind. We don't love it not one of our top wines. Think it needs another 5 years maybe. Also seems to be missing some of the mid palate and not very long finish. In Mr. From's defense, we didn't pair it with appropriate food. This might be amazing with lamb or something dark and gamey.

Delicious, a favorite. Green pepper, black fruits, vanilla and gorgeous mouthfeel all balanced by just a bit of acidity.
