With meticulous attention & care, the 2021 Grenache Reserve underwent a process of extended barrel aging using large format puncheons. This large format technique was employed to limit the contact between the wine & the wood, allowing the oak to integrate nicely without overpowering the wine. At the same time, this method minimizes the amount of oxygen passing through the tiny pores in the oak grain, which is particularly crucial for Grenache due to its susceptibility to oxygenation. The end result is a Grenache that offers an exceptional sensory experience, with exquisite notes of strawberry, allspice, & dried herbs such as oregano and tobacco. Additionally, flavors of chocolate & roasted coffee beans beautifully intermingle, creating a complex & harmonious blend.
