"Classic 95" Points "The wine displays classic Grenache aromas of sweet red raspberry, strawberry and kirsch. On the palate, the wine combines waves of expressive, high-toned red fruits, along with streaks of creosote, and leathery notes in a pure, expressive, medium-bodied package. The wine's finely textured fruits are lifted and maintained through a long finish by ripe acidity and firm, yet complex and spicy tannic structure, which will also provide for aging potential. Just delicious!" - The Wine Insiders
Wine Spectator on Grenache Now the next big thing could be Grenache, part of the Rhône grape family (like Syrah). Grenache is a grape that seemingly has it all. It can make amazingly complex, detailed and ageworthy wines-witness the great wines from Châteauneuf-du-Pape or Priorat (in Spain, the grape goes by the name Garnacha). It also excels in value wines, notably in blends from the Côtes du Rhône. Today there are enough small-scale success stories with this variety in California to imagine that it has a genuine and exciting future.
