The 2016 Sonoma Valley Grenache Noir gorgeous color is a glowing transparent dark ruby. The density of fruit is the first thing to hit the nose, cheesecake and Rum. Shifting into maraschino cherry and Chinese five spices. The floral aspect really kick in then. Violets and Lilly. On the pallet, this is their big boy. Full of black fruit and cherry across the whole experience. Fresh and alive, root beer and hard candy then lead to the plentiful and abundant tannin. A crowd pleaser!
