Helen Keplinger's 2012 Basilisk, 100% Grenache from a site on the Russian River Valley, bursts from the glass with exotic red fruit, pomegranate, orange peel, spices and licorice. Racy and voluptuous in the glass, the 2012 is all about texture. Varietal notes are a bit buried by the pure intensity of the fruit, but there is nevertheless plenty to like, starting with the wine's boisterous personality.
A plush red, backed by a complex core. Floral raspberry and white pepper aromas open to layered flavors of blueberry, loam and licorice.
