2013 Relic Grenache Paras Vineyard HD Block

From Mt. Veeder, the 2013 Grenache Paras Vineyard is another sexy style of wine, with loads of kirsch liqueur, licorice, earth and spice. It is not terribly complex at the moment, but this wine, which enjoyed 20% whole clusters, and was aged in older French puncheons, shows plenty of fruit. It is medium to full-bodied, low in acidity, and seductive. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.
