2021 | Andremily Grenache | Santa Barbara County Compania Bodeguera Valenciso Dry and steely yet plump

Dry and steely yet plump on the palate

Crushed blackberries and elderberries with floral and dark-chocolate undertones on the nose

and this compelling character that keeps pulling you back to the glass

Always rather forbidding from barrel

mazuelo and graciano

2021 | Andremily Grenache | Santa Barbara County Compania Bodeguera Valenciso Dry and steely yet plumpTasted out of bottle, the 2021 Grenache is 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and 5% Mourvdre that saw 60% stems and 21 months in 50% new demi muids and the balance in used barrels. It has a slightly purer and more precise perfume of ripe blackberries, ground pepper, violets, and game. This carries to a full bodied Grenache offering flawless overall balance, a pure, cool climate, vibrant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and an incredible finish. 98 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
