2021 Grenache
Now we move from Burgundy to the Rhone Valley and the charms of a cool-climate Grenache! This deep garnet red wine comes from Spanish Springs Vineyard, which is just down Price Canyon Road from us and a stone’s throw from the Pacific
Ocean at Pismo Beach.
The Grenache boasts more earth-driven aromas: cloves, anise, tobacco, and briar patch come to mind. On the palate, generous
notes of plum and dark forest berries are anchored by firm tannins and bracing acidity. Pair this big wine with grilled lamb, beef short
ribs, or breaded porkchops. It is a wine with a long aging potential, so you might want to get a few more bottles to lay down for the next five to seven years.
