This wine shows delicious food-friendly levels of black fruits, acidity and a fine balancing tannic structure. This is a straight hedonistic Grenache Noir. Brambles, black currants and licorice all come together in this dense wine and the fruit preserves are spiked with spicy notes of garrigue, violet and faint pepper. The creamy mouthfeel is balanced by medium tannins and a long, supple finish.
