Our 2015 Grenache from Mendocino is AMAZING! Grenache, originally from Northern Spain, is a medium red that pairs exceptionally well with many different dishes! This varietal is a slow ripener, but due to the warmer summer was harvested by October. We then aged it in predominantly neutral oak for 18 months. Beautiful, fresh, and fruity nose of raspberry, star anise, and strawberry jam. Bright acidity on the palate with notes of plum, kirsch, cinnamon, and all spice. Soft tannin structure with a long savory finish. Pairs great with Baja spiced swordfish tacos, chipotle chicken burritos, and Indian spiced fare.
