Grosgrain Grenache 2022
Red Mountain, Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesIn 2014, Matt and Kelly Austin left their careers as an attorney and fashion designer in California for a new life in the Pacific Northwest. After Matt returned to school to study enology and spent time working with several Washington wineries, they stumbled upon a small vineyard on the Southside of Walla Walla. Planted with uncommon varieties, these 5 acres became Grosgrain Vineyards, a winery dedicated to championing sustainable farming. From Washington's renowned Red Mountain comes this gently structural grenache, matured in neutral oak and comfortably resting now at 14.4%, but with a lovely lightness of being. Strawberry jam, juicy raspberry, black tea is kissed with rasped pink peppercorns, all wrapped with fine, sticky tannins which guide this to the gently warming finish. A pretty, thought rotund version, drinking now.Tasted: 29 September 2024Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $67.00 | 750ml | private wine stores |
