A versatile and distinctive wine. This vintage highlights why Grenache is such an exciting varietal to work with and why we love the Dry Stack Vineyard. This Grenache has both power and purity, a hallmark of our favorites from Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The Grenache shares the stage with its more exotic cousin, Mourvedre, which furthers the complexity of the blend with ripe pomegranate and grilled game. A select few barrels of Syrah, less than in previous vintages – adds to the wine’s flavorful depth and finish.
