Grenache
15.6 % Alcohol
Tasted 2016-03-28

Medium dark cherry red. Intensive aromas of cherries, mild pepper and dark chocolate. On the palate explosive but at the same time smooth and silky with a neverending, floating finish. Definitely not a wine you can find in Europe. Pure Californian hedonism. Pure, rich, almost an impertinence, congenial.
I bought this bottle in a wine shop nearby San Diego. It was possible to taste the wine before buying, and today I can say it was a mistake to buy only one bottle to take with me home in far-away Germany. The goal was to open the "On The Road" for a very special occasion - and today my wife prepared a traditional chicken mole. Seemed to be the perfect day. And indeed: A glorious pairing! The sweetness of this Grenache harmonized fantasticly with the slight bitterness of the mole. A wonderful experience.
Drink this blockbuster now. Don't wait any longer. It is on the peak.
