The wine is a somewhat darker color than you might often expect from a typical Grenache. The nose presents a very pleasant aromas of strawberry, raspberry cut grass, forest floor and herbs. The taste is very pleasant, with flavors of ripe, sweet berries, tar and black pepper that transition to some wonderful Asian spice and plum sauce midpalate. The tannins are well structured, leading to a velvety mouthfeel and long, dry finish, a very pleasant and easy drinking wine.
Overall I would rate this wine a solid 7, it's nothing spectacular but a pleasant everyday wine and a terrific value that I found at G.B. Russo's for $6 plus tax! Tonight I am enjoying this with some meatball sliders and a nice salad, but it would be great with some turkey, cranberries and all the trimmings. In other words, an ideal holiday wine for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Cheers!
