Beckman Grenache Purisima Vyd. 2003 (Santa Ynez Valley)

Deep red/purple.

Uber-ripe strawberry/red raspberry coulis of a nose.

Confectionary flavors too, quite pure and absolutely delicious. No complexity here, but the deep strawberry/raspberry sorbet flavors are hypnotic. Broad, fleshy ... You get the picture. But the acidity does cut through any extravagance - providing a firm backstop (and coating the front teeth)..

Back label says 1 ton/acre yield. Wouldn't doubt it. 25% new French, 75% one-year old French, 16 months in barrel.

$30?
