2017 Gorgeous Grenache

$42.00

Our Grenache comes from Garnier Vineyard just outside of Mosier, Oregon on the banks of the mighty Columbia River in the Columbia Gorge. Wrought by the work of this regions dramatic geologic history, the soil here is a shallow sandy loam with basalt protrusions and produces lively, energetic wines with distinction and personality.

TASTING NOTES:
The 2017 Gorgeous Grenache is a white pepper, stony, crushed rock mineral version of Grenache with aromas of rose petal, licorice, strawberry and melon as well as leafy tobacco and tumeric. The palate is saline and savory with notes of dried plum powder (Lihing mui), red currants, spruce tips, tamarind and fig. The exotic spice flavors lend themselves to any variety of dried fish - toothsome and salty from above the Arctic Circle.

15 months in neutral French oak
