Tasting Notes:
PDFSourced entirely from WeatherEye Vineyard, this 100% Grenache is powerful and generous while maintaining remarkable freshness and precision. The nose opens with ripe figs, dark cherry, and spiced plum, layered with fragrant notes of fresh sage, dried Provençal herbs, and dusty potpourri. On the palate, a lush core of red and dark fruit unfolds with hints of mandarin orange zest, warm spice, wet stone, and subtle chocolate. Refined tannins provide structure to the wine’s impressive volume, while vibrancy brings balance to the wine’s richness. Bold yet elegant, with a distinctive herbal and mineral character, the finish is long, savory, and expressive, revealing a Grenache of both immediate allure and exceptional aging potential.
