Doug Frost, who co-owns Echolands, is a sort of Renaissance person in the wine world – both a Master Sommelier and a Master of Wine, also a practicing sommelier in Kansas City, wine author, lecturer and, more recently, winery co-owner, all wrapped up in a friendly, humble package. This Grenache could also be described as friendly and humble – a delightful, lighter wine, almost like a super Rosé, that brings out all that is good in Grenache with lightly spicy fruit and flavors of red and black raspberries with good acidity and a fresh finish.
