Longevity, Grenache 2013, Livermore Valley, California

Tasting Note: A grenache that has body, legs, and a delicious, strong, red-and-black-fruit punch.

Medium-intensity ruby in color, this wine has a nose of strawberry and raspberry compote along with a raisin-laced, baked apple pie.

On the palate the dry, medium-plus-bodied grenache is smooth in texture with summer red-fruit flavors suggested on the nose.

A grenache that punches back.
