(92-94 points) Grand Mayne Deep dark ruby colored, this rich, ripe, round textured wine offers a big, fresh, juicy mouthful of licorice, fleshy berries, spice and chocolate. This wine ends with a long ripe, plum. blackberry and fennel finish which offers real character. This is the best wine I’ve tasted from Grand Mayne.

Blackberries, coffee and some cool wet chalk. Opens up with strawberries, blackberries and dark chocolate. Full and intense on the palate with lots of dark polished fruit and sweet licorice in the long finish. Soft and smooth with good density and smooth tannins. Drink from 2015.

A dark, lush, enveloping style, with flavors of fig paste, blackberry preserves and hoisin sauce forming an impressive core, while smoldering tobacco and charcoal notes entwine themselves around it. The finish is long and fleshy. Best from 2015 through 2027. 4,500 cases made.–JM
