Tasting Notes
Sophisticated and refined, the 2008 pickpocket is Curt’s complex and layered expression of Grenache. A classic, elegant nose of caraway, blood orange, vanilla and sandalwood reveal an earthen, structured palate of boysenberry, beets, fresh dirt and rose petals that seamlessly leads to a lengthy focused finish.
