Austin Hope Grenache 2009
Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo County, Central Coast, California, United StatesThe 2009 delivers all you could want in New World grenache. It has the raspberry scent and flavours you would expect flecked with milk chocolate and spice and fine grained tannins. Soft and glossy it is easy to drink now but has enough acidity and power to age gracefully through 2018. Try this with a whole oven roasted chicken.Tasted: 20 May 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $61.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Trialto Wine Group |
