Description:
If you haven’t been on a tour through Maryhill’s expansive barrel room yet, at least you’ll know what it smells like if you stick your nose in a glass of this beautifully aromatic Grenache. Your palate is awash with an amazingly diverse collection of flavors including candied fig, cinnamon, strawberry rhubarb and pickled asparagus. Maryhill’s first vintage of Grenache is wonderfully reminiscent of a classic Cotes du Rhone varietal.

Varietal Definition
Grenache:
Grenache Noir is the world’s most widely planted grape used to make red wine, sometimes made into a stand-alone varietal, frequently as a Rosé, but most often as a backbone of red blends. Its strength is its ability to grow in arid and windy conditions. It’s particularly suited to warm coastal regions of California, Spain and France. Grenache-based wines tend to be high in alcohol, with attractive fruit qualities in youth and a sweet berry character.Used as a component in some Northern Rhône reds, nearly exclusively for Rhône Rosés and as the primary component in nearly all Southern Rhône red blends, Grenache is probably most notable as the base varietal for Chateauneuf du Pape, Cotes du Rhône and Gigondas. In spite of its fame coming from French wines, Spain is most likely this grape’s origin.
