Tasting notes
The 2021 The Maven is 100% Grenache from Fulldraw, G2, Epoch's York Mountain estate and James Berry Vineyard. The nose here simply burns with alcohol, unavoidably dominating an otherwise herbal, red-fruited nose with red plum, sour cherry and oregano aromas. The palate is medium-bodied and characteristically plush but transitions swiftly into a coarse, angular finish composed entirely of harsh tannins and sharp acidity.

The 2021 Grenache Maven is a spice-box, bursting with mentholated herbs, incense, ground cloves and dried black cherries. This is soothingly round and pliant with ripe red berry fruits and sweet spice balanced and propelled by zesty acidity. It's powerful and intense leaving baking spices and rum-soak currants over a bed of fine-grained tannins. This is a darling.
