James on this wine: “This wine was born as part of my continued exploration of Grenache. I believe the variety is aptly suited for California, and I love the terroir expressiveness ranging from vin de garde to vin de soif wines. Originally a co-ferment of Grenache Noir and Grenache Blanc to make a light red wine with some texture, but in 2021 our previously sourced Grenache Blanc was ripped out, so we had to shift to a new source, and overall a new wine. First to Pinot and Sauvignon Blanc in 2021, then towards the traditional Burgundy pair of Chardonnay and Pinot in 2022.”
Aromas of strawberry and sour cherry with juicy raspberry on the palate. This is a slightly more serious glou-glou.
