Our Grenache comes from Garnier Vineyard just east of the town of Mosier, Oregon on the banks of the mighty Columbia River in the Columbia Gorge AVA. Wrought by the work of this region’s dramatic geologic history, the soil here is a shallow sandy loam with basalt protrusions and produces lively, energetic wines that are as distinctive and dramatic as the environs.
TASTING NOTES:
The 2021 Gorgeous Grenache is affable and juicy, playful and plum with perfumed flowers and spice so nice like violets and lilac, fenugreek, allspice and gingersnaps. Fennel is here and fruity molasses, an earth tone like rain on granite and the inviting echo of fig newtons. The palate is unctuous and energetic with a joyful juiciness that amplifies its sublimity and song.
