In my top 2 Grenache favorites for this dry creek trip. A beauty with a supple fruit red profile and no heavy and weighty extraction going on. A great style.

Juicy and fruity bouquet of rhubarb and dried strawberries, with white pepper. This is a Grenache that takes itself seriously but maybe you shouldn’t. There’s a promising core of complexity and depth that never quite reaches its potential, instead developing into a simple and delicious wine. Fruit forward on the palate with stewed plums, black cherry, and cranberry. Licorice, dry earth, and tobacco round things out. This is a wonderful Grenache, just don’t think too much about it.

V11. Pretty good. Licorice and smoke nose. Bright strawberry, and black cherry fruit. Dry, tart, mineral finish. Nice with charcuterie and cheese.
