Description

Grenache’s spice lends itself to be paired with spiced and herb-heavy dishes. Roasted meat and vegetables or a grilled tuna steak are natural choices along with many ethnic foods. 

Wine Critic Reviews
"The 2020 Grenache Rodney's Vineyard has lots of up-front black cherry and gamey black fruits to go with medium-bodied richness, a layered, elegant, seamless mouthfeel, good concentration, and complex notes of peppery herbs and underbrush...it’s well worth seeking out and will give many an impressive Châteauneuf du Pape a run for their money." ~ Jeb Dunnuck "A lightly earthy element of iron shavings lingers behind the aromas of cran-raspberry and French toast spice on the nose of this bottling. Pomegranate, rose and white pepper flavors show on the dry, solidly tense palate." ~ Wine Enthusiast "…Dark roasted fruit, leather, spice, tobacco and menthol are nicely delineated. Like many Grenache-based wines in 2020, this comes across as a bit light in body, especially on the mid-palate. All things considered, this is nicely done." ~ Antonio Galloni's Vinous
