This wine packs a wallop, though it is quite simple. Hard to quibble, however, at $7.99.Very dark ruby with violet overtones. Nose features lots of black raspberry skins and dark cherry fruit. Some stony mineraliness as well. Highly extracted (for a Grenache), it blasts the palate with tannins and bone dry, slightly bitter black cherry fruit. Very full bodied. Finish leaves lots of puckery tannins. This wine tastes very young and blunt right now. It actually may soften a bit over the next 18 months, though I wouldn't keep it longer than that, as the high alcohol may start to burn through the fruit. B-. I got this a Whole Foods in Arlington. Imported by Kysela Pere et Fils, Winchester, VA.
