Grenache Wine

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 96 points: The 2015 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Chaupin is all Grenache, 40% whole cluster, aged in two-thirds foudre and one-third demi-muids and drawn exclusively from sandy sites. It showcases incredibly lush, silky fruit...

Antonio Galloni's Vinous, 95 points: (fermented in open-top vats, followed by malolactic fermentation and two years of aging in 70 percent French and 30 percent American oak barrels, all of them new) Lurid magenta. Expansive blackberry, violet pastille...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92 points: Coming from sites spread throughout the Central Coast (hence the name), the 2014 On The Road (Grenache) is a ripe, sexy beauty that's loaded with classic Grenache notes of black cherries, licorice, smoked herbs and earth...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: The creme of the lineup, the 1932 VDN Rivesaltes Old Collection Ambre (100% Grenache Blanc aged 30 years in cask) is a monumental effort that makes your eyes roll back in your head and has you wondering why you don’t...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 97 points: Medium garnet colored, the 2013 Les Amis Grenache reveals a gorgeous nose of raspberry preserves, cranberry sauce and kirsch with underlying lavender, fenugreek, cinnamon stick, roses and white pepper hints. Full-bodied...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The black grape-based Cazes 1962 Rivesaltes is pungently scented with candied grapefruit rind, cocoa, cinnamon, and quinine, its palate performance correspondingly mingling the rich torrefactionwith the citric and...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, 94 points: (all garnacha, from a vineyard that is reportedly over 100 years old): Inky purple. Explosive aromas of candied red fruits, incense, rose oil and Asian spices, with a bright mineral overtone. Stains the palate with...

Wine Spectator, 94 points: Dense but refined, showing layers of fig, boysenberry and blackberry paste offset with notes of anise, fruitcake, allspice, mulled plum and black tea. Exhibits a silky feel through the finish, with lots of sneaky length...

Wine Enthusiast, 90 points: This brand is winemaker Heidi Peterson Barrett’s ode to Rhône, as well as a place for her own Bordeaux-varietal wines. The first vintage of this 100% varietal wine on its own, it’s soft and supple with a tannic backbone...

jebdunnuck.com, 94 points: A more restrained, elegant, structured vintage for this wine (I suspect more due to winemaking than the vintage), the 2014 Alto Moncayo is 100% Grenache brought up in French and American oak. It sports a vibrant...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 95 points: The white grape-based Cazes 1949 Rivesaltes displays spiciness, verve, and remarkable sheer juiciness at the same time as a complex array of dark and decadent elements. Peat, tobacco, black tea, and decadent forest floor...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: The white grape-based Cazes 1945 Rivesaltes, smells of smoke-infused dried figs as well as saline, alkaline sea breeze. Dried fig and complexly floral honey engage with smoky, saline mineral nuances in a sustained...
