Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The 2009 vintage of En Geddi is an uncanny collection of aromas and flavors that occur when Grenache is expertly grown on the hillsides of the Central Coast. With luscious scents of strawberry compote, white pepper, carob, macerated raspberries and fried squash blossoms, it is profoundly rich in flavors of cherries -from tart to sweet, and red to black- while being grounded by dusty rosemary and lavender and white pepper.
