| There is no disappointment in the 2004 Grenache from Holly's
Hill. The wine shows a moderate ruby core with shades of
purple around the rim. The nose is treated to wonderful
aromas of jammy strawberries and plums along with mingling
hints of perfume and violets. In the mouth the wine
expresses its rich fruit flavors in an ample body with
adamant intensity. The tannins are balanced, slightly
drying, and along with fresh acidity, give this wine an
elegant structure with flowing balance to a solid lingering
finish. Harmonious complexity and a mellow consistency make
this a top notch Grenache. |
