The 2005 Grenache “The Fakir” is medium crimson-colored with a pleasant perfume of cedar, spice box, violets, and kirsch. Medium-bodied, supple, and ripe, this forward Grenache is ready for prime time drinking. The 2005 Mourvedre (50%) – Grenache (50%) “The Call Bag” is dark ruby-colored with aromas of black cherry and blueberry. Fat, sweet, and forward, with excellent depth and concentration, this nicely balanced wine can be enjoyed over the next 6-8 years.

“There are two cuvees of Grenache. The less expensive effort, the 2004 Grenache The Fakir, reveals resiny, pine forest, licorice, and sweet cherry characteristics, and a creamy, open-knit, low acid, full-throttle texture. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.” |

"Fakir! Fakir! This straight Grenache is produced from a number of mature vineyards. Aged mostly in older oak barrels, both French and American. Bright fruits are the hallmark to this immensely appealing red. Full flavored, yet immediately approachable. Classic white pepper and spice add further complexity. Long, savory and satisfying. It's a very food friendly wine. Drink now and over the next 3-5 years. A real charmer!" |
