The 2013 Lithic, Keplinger's Grenache-based red, is superb. Delineated, focused and bright, the 2013 shows the darker side of Grenache, along with nuanced aromatics and fabulous balance. Hints of licorice, flowers and spices add nuance in the glass, but like all of these 2013s, the Lithic speaks to absolute finesse. Interestingly, the fruit profile is quite dark for a Grenache-based wine, while the 30% whole clusters are nearly buried. (AG) (9/2015)
Power meets finesse in this blend, which offers distinctive aromas of black olive and black raspberry, with accents of licorice and pepper. The flavors are layered and complex, delivering notes of blackberry, crushed rock and espresso. The tannins are big but ripe. (TF) (3/2016)
