2014 Samsara Grenache Larner Vineyard

(93 Points) Made from the same five rows each year of clone 362, this bottling starts with red-spice aromas of mace and cinnamon and then shows the underlying fresh raspberry and white-pepper tones. The sip starts very peppery, and then offers red currant, carnation, hibiscus and even a flash of red melon. Matt Kettmann
