Transparent ruby magenta. Piquant, tamarind and exotically red fruited nose with a hint of white pepper and hot road tar. Red florals and red candy, then a crunchy-chewy bit of saltwater taffy or sweet red starburst candy on the palate. Such a salty, juicy and delicious finish, with an herbal twist. Really stylistically unique and delicious. — 7 days ago

Really starting to enjoy australian wine. Smokey, fruity and with a big punch of flavour this could be the perfect wine for a BBQ...which is exactly when we drank it. Looking forward to the runrig — 4 days ago

Quite a fruit filled nose. Candied watermelon, strawberry, and cherry on the palate, but brings a nice amount of acid to offset. Dry and keeps you coming back for another glass. Tasting fresh for being “old news 19s.” — 5 days ago

Pop and pour. Ripe nectarine/peach, raspberry, soft rose. On the palate: great acidity, so fresh, nectarine, lemon, underripe raspberry...very refreshing. Yum!

Damn this is good. Bright, clean, round but angular? All the things. Crazy acid. So closed then open. Perfume. Red apple candy. Transparent. Beautiful to look at and taste. What a food wine. Fantastic, sexy grenache. — 12 days ago

Wow! I received this in a shipment this week and I couldn’t wait on cellar time to open this one. It was quite simply spectacular. We noted a nose of pepper and leather intermingled with fruit. The taste rolled around your tongue and lingered for a very long time afterwards. Wonderfully balanced and sophisticated without being overdone or overwrought. This is one of the most complex and interesting Grenaches we have had and it just takes this grape places others aren’t going. Stanley and Elena are killing it! — 4 days ago

Rd Winery Hundred Knot Rossi Ranch Grenache 2019 Sonoma Valley, California

This is a delicious Grenache from Sonoma Valley.

Showing black plums, black currants, coffee, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, light vegetables and peppercorn.

Medium plus in body and spicy.

Fruit forward with medium acidity and long legs.

Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel.

Easy drinking, and the high alcohol is not noticeable at all, so watch out.

Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime (60 minutes).

Tasty and rich, with a nice mouthfeel. Good by itself or with food.

A blend of Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah, that I paired with a gorgeous charcuterie board.

15% alcohol by volume.

91 points.
