The nose is full of roses with hints for strawberry and honeydew melon which I accented with a tiny amount of aromatic Acacia wood which imparts an enticing honeysuckle element. Though bone dry, the lushness in the mouth gives an impression of sweetness despite crisp acidity. One expects from your basic Grenache a simple strawberry aroma, but here we have in support of its bright fruitiness an intriguing collection of melon, droughty “garrigue” herbs, saddle leather and Asian spice. The mouth is medium-bodied with fine tannins and energetic minerality.
