Cucamonga Valley! Just a shade darker than Rosé. Not profound, but elegant and a joy to drink.

I love the punchy, strawberry, crunchiness of this Cucumonga Grenache. Even lighter than her SB wines. Not for all, but a really fun bottling from Angela.

Pretty great. I feel like it could use more time in bottle. A couple hours of air and it was cherries, dust, strawberries, white pepper, a hint of jalapeño, maybe red apple with baking spice. So lovely.

What can I say I love anything Angela makes, and the new Tribute to Grace tasting room in Los Alamos is a gem. My Dad declared this was his favorite wine ever and my mom is from nearby Cucamonga, so let’s just say everyone was happy. For that reason, wine of our trip out west after not seeing the folks for 18 months. As always, just incredibly elegant Grenache, light on its feet, but not without its nuanced power

I finally found a delicious grenache rose for summer. I just hope my wine shop can keep it in stock!

In a fascinating place. The nose hits most Grenache notes. Raspberry laced with herbal notes. The palate is wild. Shows those fresh red berries, but has a secondary savory/umami note along with some persistent tannins. Still as nimble and easy as all the Grace bottlings.
