A pretty serious take on California Grenache at a very fair price. This comes from a south-western facing slope in Mendocino. As in the Rhone Valley, rough, stony soils force these vines to struggle through the growing season, giving tiny berries full in intense flavors. The aromas are fresh and intense and show rose petal, bergamot, black cherry, lilac, and peppercorn. The wine is supple and round on entry, with smooth tannins beneath layers of ripe plum, kirsch and a hint of mint. Lively red fruit flavors shines through to a clean and persistent finish. This will take a little chill on a warm day and shine with robust dishes.
