Austin Hope Grenache 2012
Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo County, Central Coast, California, United StatesLight grenache colour but with a very expressive nose of sweet cooked fruits, raisins and spice. The attack is warm and soft with flavours of cooked raspberries, all-spice and vanilla with a grind of cinnamon. Fat rich, spicy and warm on the palate it finishes similarly: long and warm and soft and glossy. Best with whole oven-roasted chicken.Tasted: 06 October 2015Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $38.00 | 750ml | wholesale - Trialto Wine Group |
