Heady perfume in the glass. Cordial cherry and apple pie with vanilla ice cream à la carte after a meal of beef and asparagus. In the mouth, the sweet plumminess of warmer versions of the variety takes on a smooth, refreshing glow, dark and vibrant, rosy licorice, with a slight ping of pepper in the finish.

Pitch-perfect representation, solid fruit, nothing weird, good clean winemaking. You can pay four times this for Paso Grenache, but WHY? It won’t make you any happier.
