Grenache Wine

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Exuberant red berries and cherries with a fine, rose-like edge and some coal smoke. Very juicy, fleshy, rich and ripe mid-palate with a dense, long and showy, glossy black-cherry finish. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: I was blown away by how favorably the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Petits Pieds d'Armand had evolved. Last year I indicated it was still fermenting and now that it is in bottle it is one heck of a wine that took 18 months...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The more recent 2014 Pegaso Barrancos de Pizarra was finally my favorite of all the bottles I tasted in this sitting, which were quite a few. This aged in ancient large clay amphorae and used 500- and 600-liter French oak...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: The floral, aromatic and citrusy 2016 Espectacle del Montsant has unusual finesse and freshness. It's a powerful Garnacha that feels light on its feet but with great inner strength, refined tannins and great acidity...

jebdunnuck.com, 96 points: Made from 100% Grenache aged a full 30 months in 70% new French oak, the deep ruby-colored 2016 On The Road is another full-bodied, concentrated, yet also pure and balanced wine from this talented winemaker. Blackberries...

jebdunnuck.com, 92 points: From a co-op in the Sierra de Gredos and all old-vine Grenache, the 2017 Granito De Cadalso comes from granite soils, was destemmed, and brought up all in concrete tanks. This Pinot Noir-like beauty offers notes of wild...

Vinous, 94 points: (91-94) The 2016 Grenache Rossi Ranch is another of the many highlights in this range. A host of red berry fruit and floral overtones fill out the wine's frame effortlessly. The purity of the flavors is simply striking...

jebdunnuck.com, 94 points: The 100% Grenache 2015 On the Road, which spent two years in 65% new barrels, offers a rocking nose of black raspberries, toasted spice, dried herbs, and earth. With medium to full body, a seamless, elegant, layered...

Vinous, 93 points: (VN 91-93 points) Limpid ruby. Intense, highly perfumed blue fruit and floral pastille aromas are complemented by suggestions of allspice and licorice. Silky and focused on the palate, offering concentrated boysenberry...

jebdunnuck.com, 97 points: 97+ Deeper colored, the 2017 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Chaupin comes mostly from the Chaupoin lieu-dit yet always has small parts from La Janasse and a sandy part of the La Crau lieu-dit. Blackberries, ground herbs...

jebdunnuck.com, 99 points: (97-99 points) Simply stunning, the 2006 Torbreck Grenache Les Amis possesses stunning, massive aromatics of blackberry and cassis fruit mixed with licorice, meat and toasted spice. Complex, intense and nuanced. The...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: The cooler and more austere 2014 Espectacle del Montsant could have some similarities with 2008. It has beautiful floral aromas and hints of orange peel and wet stones. It has a serious, balanced and austere palate, a...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2014 Pegaso Granito was surprisingly elegant, expressive and aromatic, from a year that seems terribly balanced. With no oak whatsoever, this has fine earthiness and minerality, with lively acidity, a granite backbone...

jebdunnuck.com, 97 points: The top cuvée is the 2015 Alto Moncayo Aquilon, 100% Garnacha that’s mostly barrel fermented and aged in 10% larger oak American Hogshead and 90% in new French oak. It tastes like the straight Alto Moncayo, just slightly...
