96+ Sourced from a single vineyard in Greenock, the 2013 Western Ridge Grenache Carignan is a medium garnet color with hint of purple. The nose reveals very pretty kirsch, roses and red currant preserves notes with a touch of clove-studded orange peel. Medium to full-bodied with medium-firm grainy tannins and lively acid the palate offers tremendous concentration and many, many flavor layers that conclude long and spicy. - Lisa Perrotti-Brown
