"All Grenache from a great site in the Ballard Canyon AVA of Santa Barbara County, aged 18 months in 40% new French oak. Wild strawberries, framboise, pepper, and some bouquet garni and exotic floral notes all jump from the glass, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a round, layered mouthfeel, sweet tannins, and a great finish. This sexy, seamless, flat-out gorgeous Grenache will cruise in cold cellars over the coming decade." — 97pts, Jeb Dunnuck
