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, 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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 93 points: One of the wines of the vintage is the Grenache-dominated 2013 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Chaupin. Coming mostly from a cool terroir in the northeast corner of the appellation (just to the east of Beaucastel), this wine is...

jebdunnuck.com, 99 points: Bottled end of February/early in March, the 2016 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Chaupin is incredible stuff, and while I suspect it’s the best vintage to date, it’s going to be great comparing it to bottles of the 2005, 2007...

Wine Spectator, 92 points: A real find, rich, juicy and deeply fruited, with blackberry, wild berry and black currant flavors. This is both powerful and graceful, revealing black licorice and dusty herb accents as this builds to a long, sleek...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 90 points: (88-90 points) From an appellation that’s filled with value for the savvy shopper, the 2015 Beaumes de Venise is a 60/40 split of Syrah and Grenache that offers lots of peppery herbs, black cherries and scrub brush-like...

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...

Vinous, 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...

jebdunnuck.com, 97 points: The 2016 Ripper reminds me of a top vintage of Marcoux Vieilles Vignes cuvée from Châteauneuf du Pape with its huge nose of kirsch, blackberries, ground herbs, blueberries, graphite, and melted licorice. This beauty is...

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, 99 points: The otherworldly 2015 Les Manyes is a completely different Garnacha from Priorat, as it comes from a high-altitude vineyard on clay and limestone soils with a total absence of slate. From a cold terroir at 800 meters in...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: The 2014 Les Manyes was bottled a little earlier, in June 2016. In many wineries in Priorat, 2013 is clearly better than 2014, but it's not that clear in the case here, and you have to take it wine by wine. In the case of...

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...
