A more measured, elegant rendition of one of Australia's undervalued specialties. Everything in balance, this is very flexible with a wide range of stews, meats, and pastas.Dark ruby color with the beginnings of some garnet hues. very ripe cherry and rasspberry fruit, shot through with fragrant, sandstoney spice. Very ripe, and a bit lower-toned in its fruitiness than I would have expected. Very dark cherry cough syrup/black raspberry fruit, along with a leathery earthy quality. Long finish with loads of body (a little heat, but not too much peeks through). B+. A good value for an immediately drinkable rich Grenache will a little bottle age at $16.99. Got it at Total Wine in Fairfax. Imported by USA Wine West, Saucelito, CA. Drink over the next year.
