Grenache

Grenache Wine Details
Price: $10.00 per bottle

Description: The Grenache came from the Rhodes vineyard, and the Carrignane from a nearby vineyard in Redwood Valley. The Syrah is from the Williams vineyard in Anderson Valley. All the wines were fermented and barrel aged separately for a year before blending in the fall of 2000. After eight more months of barrel aging it was bottled in May of 2001. This is a wine in the true southern Rhone tradition where Grenache is often the main component of a blend. It has a floral, spicy nose and earthy flavors complemented by cloves, pepper and black fruit. This medium bodied wine has fine tannins that will allow the wine to continue to develop over the next few years.
