Bonny Doon Vineyard, Monterey County (California) Grenache 2014

Jul 12, 2015

By Rich Cook

I continue to be impressed by this rich and Rhône-ish wine from original California renegade Randall Grahm with each succeeding vintage.  Cherry, strawberry, rhubarb and both white and black pepper are delivered in a dry style that is food and wallet friendly.  This has a ton of pairing possibilities, from simple summer grilled beef to roasted wild game.  Randall suggests al fresco, and I couldn’t agree more.
