2022 Grenache
Boldly fruit forward, sporting notes of sugar plum, blackberry paste and Bing cherry. Savory spices, fresh earth and cocoa powder build richness to a soft shouldered tannin. Red licorice and dried blueberries settle over veins of granite-like minerality. Finished with ripe raspberry, vanilla toffee and orange oil essence.

Black raspberry, sour cherry and black plum aromas meet with wild herb on the nose of this bottling. There's a medium bodied line of tart black plum on the palate, with lifts of red and purple flowers. —Matt Kettmann

Pale in appearance, the nose gives lifted aromas of raspberry, candy and cherry. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and bright acidity showing notes of strawberries, cranberries and dried herbs. Very fresh and balanced. Drink or hold.
