Santa Barbara County Grenache

Make a reduction of dark plums, raspberries and strawberries, now make a jam/jelly out of that somehow. Liquify that and sprinkle a touch of cinnamon sugar and black pepper on top. Thats what this tastes and smells like. Its awesome. Super long finish.

I tasted plenty of Grenache in 2015.
This was the best.
My words will not do this justice.
Go buy now.

Candied blueberry upfront but not a one dimensional wine. Lighter but fulfilling

I really did try to like this wine. After all, a limited edition should have appealed to me. This doesn't taste like a Grenache at all. Tastes almost like a Pinot Noir. And I really don't like Pinot Noir.

Strawberries, red plums, earth

Somewhat sweet and fruity

This is a fantastic wine. Deborah is consumed by strawberry jam and I get a plum/licorice vibe with subtle and silky tannins but still structured. I could drink this all day.

2012 and on the palette a powerful amount of licorice stands through on every sip, a lot of candied fruits, quite unique all in all, not sure she will ever get spectacular!!
