A Tribute to Grace 2022 Grenache Shake Ridge Ranch

This is a stunning example of how ethereal and delicate Grenache can be, while still posessing a strong foundation and structure to evolve further over time. It comes from the historic Shake Ridge Ranch, from a high altitude site planted on rose quartz, vertically tilted shale, slate and metamorphic rock soils. It is made with 100% whole cluster inclusion, giving it layers of complexity and savory depth. The color is a translucent coppery claret in the glass, with a pretty nose of cherry fruit and orange peel, alongside some savory herbal spice. It has a meatiness that calls to mind Burgundy or even Jura Trousseau, but mingles seamlessly with the pure fruit and soaring aromatics. Acidity is on point and there's a gentle firmness that reminds you you're drinking Grenache. Truly a special wine to drink now or save another 10 years.
