Manfred’s 2013 Grenache Jusqu’ A l’Os (which means “To the Bone”) tastes like the essence of Grenache from California, and I’m always amazed at the singular character as well as the power this estate can achieve. Kirsch, blackberries, Asian spices, forest floor and hints of white pepper all soar from the glass of this sensational Grenache that packs a wealth of richness and depth, yet dances across the palate with no weight, heaviness or coarseness. This gorgeous wine will benefit from a few years in the cellar and keep for 20+. Bravo!
