2017 Grenache
This medium bodied wine is deep, rich and layered on the palate with notes of sweet blackberry interwoven with spring flowers, wild cherries and classic white & green peppercorn spice. The mouth is full, yet not too heavy with a long lingering finish. Approachable now, this wine will evolve effortlessly for 10-15 years.
