The 2010 Grenache (No Name as of Yet) is rich, deep and seductive. Dark red cherries, plums, roses, licorice and mint wrap around the palate in this beautifully layered wine. The 2010 possesses gorgeous detail and nuance to match the silky, refined tannins. This is an impeccable, long, mineral-infused wine with a great future. The 2010 is 75% Grenache, 16% Syrah. 2.5% Mourvedre. 4.5% Roussanne and 2% Viognier, from Eleven Confessions (58%), Cumulus (38%) and Bien Nacido (4%). Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022.

(includes 16% syrah, 4.5% roussanne, 2.5% mourvedre and 2% viognier; 15.4% alcohol): Bright purple. Heady aromas of black raspberry, bitter cherry, dark chocolate, violet, olive, espresso, bacon fat and cola; smells like there's a lot more syrah in here. Sweet, dense and lush, with deeply pitched black and blue fruit and bitter chocolate flavors supported by a firm spine of acidity. Finishes very long and ripe, with fine-grained tannins and mounting mineral and spice notes.
