This Grenache is big and bright, but there’s plenty of cool climate structure to carry the weight. Back cherry, white pepper and moderate oak toast work well together, and the finish hangs together with a flourish of cherry coming forward. Well realized by winemaker Christian Roguenant. A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Monterey International Wine Competition.
