2018 Andremily Wines Grenache (Case of 3 Bottles)

"The 2018 Grenache is a blend of 80% Grenache, 14% Mourvedre and 6% Syrah, coming from Alta Mesa vineyard (Santa Barbara County), Larner vineyard (Ballard Canyon) and Kimsey vineyard (Ballard Canyon). The wine was vinified using 65% whole cluster and aged for around 21 months in 50% new French oak barrique and 600-liter demi-muid and 50% used French barrique. The alcohol is 15.4%. Sporting a medium to deep garnet-purple color, the 2018 Grenache rolls effortlessly out of the glass with compelling scents of baked blueberries, Black Forest cake, stewed plums and bouquet garni, followed by suggestions of mocha, black olives and tar. The full-bodied palate is soft and satiny with fantastic freshness and loads of savory layers, finishing long and meaty. 300 cases and a few magnums were made." - 95/100 Wine Advocate
