Tasting notes
The 2021 Grenache is perfumed and refined, with dusty rose giving way to wild strawberries and Violette Pastille. This is round and juicy on the palate with a mineral tinge that comes on early, cascading ripe red fruits over a core of zesty acidity. The 2021 leaves behind dusty tannins and exotic spices and finishes with admirable length. This was matured entirely in large- and small-format neutral oak for eighteen months.

Due to be bottled in February of 2023, the 2021 Grenache is shaping up to be a complex yet generous Grenache. It has a medium ruby color and youthfully gregarious aromas of raspberry, strawberry and pomegranate complemented by tones of tobacco and tea leaves, orange peel and underbrush. The medium-bodied palate features concentrated yet finely detailed berry fruit and earthy nuances, a support of chalky tannins and juicy acidity and a very long finish. 975 cases are expected to be made.
