Kicking off with all the attractive things highlighted by silky and juicy fruit, this Curtis Small Batch Early Release Grenache drops its guard on close.
Raspberries, cherries, squishy blackberries, dark chocolate and five spice light things up but it's a flash of warmth late that takes the gloss off an enterprising start. Silty and grainy like tannins reach long offering some chew as they dry out ever so slowly. A drink with much potential, it will satisfy those fire pit chats.
