In the glass this Mendocino Grenache has a DARK red-brick core with copper edges surrounded by a thin violet halo….
The nose EXPLODES with raspberries before anise rears its’ head and makes way for a subtle white pepper pop ——–> Another sniff shows a sandalwood thing that I’m DIGGIN’!
A sip starts with bursting strawberries that fade quickly into sharp tannins carrying a firm and delicious cranberry kick…. The mid-palate takes a walk on the wild side with some mushroom funk that leads the charge toward coriander and dehydrated flowers before red raspberries become the star of the ending with a chalky mouthfeel that goes on and on and on……..
Here’s another ridiculously good Grenache from The Grenachista ———-> With a bursting start, this little beaut shows KILLER structure that highlights plenty of terroir and fresh fruit that’ll make it damned near impossible for you to put your glass down!!! π§π§π§ Listen to this wine with a jam that’s a little wild like Cold War Kids – Hang Me Up To Dry
