Compare and Contrast: the 2009 El Dorado Grenache is the Best of Two Vineyards!

We only produced 150 cases of our 2009 El Dorado Grenache, and it is a rare beauty!
This is our 2nd Grenache bottling,  derived from two vineyards that bring contrasting characteristics to the wine.
  • The Sumu Kaw vineyard contributes elegance, nuance, and acidity
  • The Fenaughty vineyard brings fruit, structure, and concentration. 

The resulting wine is fruit driven at its core with aromas of dark cherry, rhubarb pie, and Chambord complemented with hints of dried herbs and holiday spices. This medium bodied wine integrates supple fruit tannins and fresh acidity with a full mouth-coating texture that dominates the palate. To order, Click Here   ($26)
