We bottled this wine young and fresh because we loved the quintessential Grenache characteristics.

The bright raspberry and cassis fruit sing and the herbal nuances give depth and complexity. There are hints of pencil shavings and orange peel. Drink this wine now or through 2027. Best served after chilling for 20 minutes in the refrigerator. The natural acidity in this wine makes it an easy wine to pair with your favorite foods. Try a lamb burger, chicken thighs with lentils, or any food from the B-B-Q. 750 cases made
