This wine is 100% Garnacha (Grenache) from 85 to 125 years old vines with maturation in French oak for 10 months and alcohol coming in at 15%.
Beautiful deep ruby in color, this wine opened up with aromas of black cherry, blackberry, wild strawberry, cedar, vanilla and spicy notes. On the mouthfeel, medium-full bodied with ripe fruit flavours and spicy, fresh acidity and silky tannins. Loads of energy, length and bright spicy flavours on the finish. This very flavourful and well made Grenache hits all the right notes for me, just as enjoyable has I remember it from the Vancouver Wine Show, absolutely delicious and a superb value, score 92 points.
Purchased March 1, 2013 at the Vancouver Wine Show for $26.99
