California Grenache

A lovely Grenache, although heavier than I'm used to. Randy & Brooke are the bomb! 💣💥🍷

Really delicious California Grenache introduced to me by @Shay Aldriedge - this was great. Aromas of leather and cloves on the nose. The palate is fruit-drive with strawberry, raspberry, and this is weird: I taste pink grapefruit. The finish has a touch of black pepper and vanilla. This is medium bodied with a balance between acidity and tannins. There's a bit of heat on this at the moment. Overall a really fun wine and very easy drinking. Thanks for sharing this with me Shay!

Absolutely LOVED tasting wines with Randy Hester of Lightning Wines. As a fellow Texan, it was such a treat for us. Lightning is producing some of the most unique and awesome Rhone varietals in the valley. Their Grenache is a top 5 for me without a doubt, and their Texas label is the best TX wine I've ever tasted. Super food friendly, berry medley heavy, light oak, spicy on the finish. Great tasting experience. @Martin G Rivard , great Grenache! I need to send you one.

Really bright red fruit. Plush tannin and fresh acidity. Had it for a harvest lunch and everyone loved it.
