". . . perfumed and very nicely balanced. Crushed flowers, spices, mint, leather and red stone fruits are woven together in the glass. Ripe, silky tannins support the highly expressive finish. This is the first vintage in which the Grenache was fermented with whole clusters, (40%) and aged in concrete, an approach that works beautifully here. In 2012, Sensibility also includes fruit from Catapult for the first time, which is about 20% of the blend, which is 95% Grenache and 5% Syrah."
