| Extremely deep intense purple colour. Fairly cedary, very spicy,intense, ripe plum-cherry nose with some mocha-chocolate notes. Dry, medium bodied, bright, very ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, gently cedary, mocha-chocolate-tinged finish. This 100% Grenache has 15% alcohol and only 2 g/L residual sugar with the same lot number L160930-1 on the back label. A REPEAT of the 2015 (*+/**) released on March 18, 2017 at $19.95. This batch was apparently bottled on September 30, 2016 which is AFTER Robert Parker’s excessively high 91-point score that appears in the Vintages Catalogue. |

| TASTING NOTE: Even better, and clearly one of the greatest values in the wine world, is the 2015 Tres Picos. It is a large cuvée of 24,000 cases from 100% Grenache, fermented in both oak and steel and aged in French oak prior to being bottled. The vines come from a relatively high elevation of nearly 2,300 feet from a vineyard planted in 1956. This wine shows loads of classic Grenache characteristics, such as pepper, licorice, underbrush, Provençal herbs and a boatload of black cherries and raspberries. The wine is rich, medium to full-bodied, pure and luscious and hedonistic. Drink it over the next several years. Drink Date: 2016-2019. Score - 91 (Robert Parker Jr., robertparker.com, Aug. 30, 2016) |
