There are 600 six packs of the 2006 Grenache. Made from a tiny yielding clone it is a textbook Grenache that ranks alongside Sine Qua Non's Grenache as the two finest made in California. A dense purple hue is accompanied by a glorious nose of kirsch liqueur interwoven with licorice forest floor pepper and spice. It possesses outstanding stuffing a tremendous full-bodied mouthfeel and moderate tannin. Give it 2-3 years of cellaring and enjoy it over the following 12-15 years.

Dark rich and savory this is intense and full-bodied delivering concentrated layers of blackberry wild berry and boysenberry flavors that are pure and focused. Ends with fleshy tannins. Massive for Grenache. Drink now through 2015. 500 cases made. -JL
