Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Our 2021 Reserve Grenache is a refined indulgence. It starts with cozy cinnamon-spiced luxardo cherries and invigorating orange peel. Subtle sage and birchwood notes add complexity, while alpine strawberries offer an uplifting twist. Fine-grained tannins give the wine structure, leading to a smooth, enduring finish. This is a beautifully balanced Grenache that begs to be savored.
