2019 Grenache
This medium bodied wine is deep, rich and layered on the palate with notes of sweet blackberry interwoven with Spring flowers, wild cherry and classic white peppercorn spice. The mouth is full and not too heavy and leaves a lingering finish. The focus here is on precision rather than power. Drinking well now, this elegant and complex wine will continue to develop over the next 10 plus years.
