Cowhorn Vineyard and Garden 42 Grenache 2011

...delivers a forceful, fascinatingly complex nose of black raspberry, beet root, and raw beef, tinged with brown spices, white pepper, pungent herbs and horseradish. The palate impression is correspondingly multi-faceted and intense, with ginger and mustard seed adding to the incisive and invigorating impingements of pepper and horseradish. In terms of tannins though, this is polished and refined. There is a sappy, tangy persistence that left me licking my lips and longing for the next sip. Expect this fine value to prove intriguingly not to mention compellingly delicious through at least 2020... eRobertParker.com

A wine with beautiful purity of fruit with an earthy minerality to boot. Red fruit, bitter herbs , and smoke on the nose. A bit of tartness keeps this wine fresh on the palate. Finish is long.

Bracing acidity that seems reminiscent of a Barolo underneath a core of beautiful pure fruit. Red berries and black plum with a bit of apple and rosehips. There's a bit of spicy complexity just starting to peek out. I expect this to peak nicely in two years.
