"Brown brick red color. Aromas of red licorice, dark chocolate, toasted pine nuts, and bacon with a slightly chewy, dry-yet-fruity medium body and a polished, complex, long bread crumbs, hazelnut creme, fresh herbs, and anise finish with chewy tannins and moderate oak flavor. Sweet aromas perfectly compliment a dry and lip-smackingly juicy palate; a serious Grenache that will be welcomed by all at the table."
