This Grenache has a little Syrah in the mix, and it’s just enough to turn the wine a bit to the darker side of the Grenache flavor spectrum. Black cherry and ripe strawberry are accented by bright oak spice, and the acidity balances the ripeness nicely. V. Sattui strikes again! A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition.
