What to Expect

Grenache is the main grape in many Rhone blends and most Cotes du Rhone and Chateaunuef-du-pape. It's a grape that yields soft, lightly colored yet full wines endowed with deep notes of strawberry and raspberry.

Winemakers Notes

Saturated medium ruby. Roasted blackberry, grilled nuts, minerals and smoky oak on an explosive nose. Thick, dense, creamy; supersweet, liqueur-like flavors of dark berry and maraschino cherry. Lush, mouthfilling, sappy and vibrant.
