The 2008 Grenache has a medium ruby color with bright youthful purple hues. The aroma is of strawberries, raspberries, and rose petals along with a note of dust and spice. Nine months in seasoned oak barrels has kept the focus on the fresh vibrant fruit. There is a hint of vanilla and hazelnut from the cooperage, but not too much. On the palate succulent red fruits dominate and lead to a soft finish loaded with cherries and creamy oak. The 2008 edition of Grenache is not as simple as past efforts and it exhibits a delightful weight and silky smooth tannins. In making this wine we paid great attention to balancing the alcohol and tannin and the resulting wine is perfect for picnic fare and lighter meals.
