2021 Mistral Grenache

This Grenache displays a medium brick red color and rich, sultry aromas of cranberry, brambly currant, pomegranate, crushed roses, bright leaf tobacco, Provençal lavender, Niçoise olives and lightly spiced incense. The flavors are medium bodied but substantial, with warm red fruits that are intermixed with licorice, cocoa powder, orange pekoe tea and Red Mountain dusty earth. On the back, the wine turns chewy textured, with pressed berries, roasted nuts, crème de cassis, pomegranate seeds and soft charcoal, followed by a ripe moderate tannin finish.
