2022 Ancient Grenache
Old Hill Ranch
Spring 2024 Release Wine - Limited Availability
This Grenache is a select harvest from within the Ancient field-blend, choosing 80% Grenache and while adding a few buckets of Syrah, Carignan, and Alicante Bouschet to simulate a field blend.
Dark purple color that is packed with blackberry and cherry fruit aromas. There is a hint of cumin spice character buried among some musky earthy tones but the blackberry carries the day. The ripe, and rich tannins finish with a slight chocolate bitterness leaving the impression of sweet and bitter. I think this wine will improve with age, but it is really delicious now.
