Late Bloomer Santa Barbara County Grenache
Soft, round and generous, this massive Grenache wine shows deep layers of tar and tobacco leaf that dance with the rich core of red and dark fruits. Showing off a plush texture, this has serious length and richness. Not for the weary, this high octane Grenache will be best enjoyed over the next five to seven years. Drink 2020-2027- 92

Apr 7th, 2020Excellent tasting with Chris!
Ruby red core with medium garnet edges. Layered nose with violets, woody, roses, and dark red berries. Solid acidity, medium tannins (6/10), medium bodied and complex palate. Tons of spices, floral, dark red cherries, almost candied, dark spices, and a stoney finish. Long finish Made of 100% Grenache. Aged for 36 months in 30% new French oak and the rest in neutral oak. Majority of the fruit is from a warmer climate, more specifically Paso Robles. Goes for $60.00 at Vienna Vintners. Drink till 2024.

Black fruits and dust, great with the tomahawk we had tonight but definitely need the fat because this is really jammy by itself.
