2018 was ideal for Grenache in Rutherford, Napa Valley. The mild summer and cool fall allowed for long hang time without over-ripening and very balanced chemistry. Our style of Grenache is old world with layers of rich flavors and juicy, rustic tannins. Aromas of plum, new leather, and clove lead into an expansive mid palate and complex finish of fig, licorice, molasses, and black cherry with hints of baking spices and dried herbs. Pair with savory lamb and game meats, tangy barbecue, tapas, and Asian noodle bowls. 59 cases produced. 100% Grenache, 6.25 g/L TA, 3.64 pH, 15.2% Alc.
