Wine Details
Price:
$19.00 per bottle
Description:
The color is a salmon pink to very light red. The aromas from the glass are intense fresh strawberry mixed with a little spicy red fruit. The palate is full of strawberries as well and the sweetness and acidity play a big part in keeping the wine fresh, bright and mouthwatering. This is a wine to be consumed cold, early and often; however, we are still drinking some final bottles of our 2004 and we find it delicious and more complex than it was in its youth. We hope you pick some up and that it helps to brighten a spring or summer afternoon. Enjoy!

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.
