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, 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...

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...

jebdunnuck.com, 95 points: Fermented with close to 30% whole cluster and aged for 13 months in older French hogsheads, the 2009 Two Hands Grenache Aerope has intense, savory aromatics of ground pepper, cocoa powder, and leather that are rounded out...

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...

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, 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, 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...

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...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: Funnily enough, Dominik Huber has only one varietal Garnacha wine, and it's a top one. The vineyard is in Torroja where the soils are slate and for Dominik slate works better with Cariñena, so he sources the Garnacha from...

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...

Vinous, 93 points: (100% garnacha from vines reportedly over a century old): Inky ruby. An explosively perfumed bouquet evokes black raspberry cherry-cola sandalwood and Asian spices plus a smoky overtone. Intense mineral-accented red...
