"The deep, saturated garnet color creates a distinct 2021 Tenor Grenache. Intense aromas of blackberry reduction, black forest cake, and vanilla powder are supported by a woodsy incense. On the palate it is equally sappy with blueberry Danish, molasses, and a hint of tarragon. This almost full-bodied wine is seductive and expansive on the palate with ripe, luxurious tannins. The long finish excites with blood orange, baking spice, and milk chocolate flavors." -Alex Stewart, Hal Iverson, & Jesse Schmidt, Winemakers
Praise:
“The 2021 Tenor Grenache was sourced from the Thunderstone and Corfu Crossing Vineyards in the Royal Slope AVA. The nose comes off very pretty with potpourri aromatics, followed by guava puree, orange blossom and suggestions of ripe Yakima cherry. The palate is soft and refined with a smooth texture, as this glides throughout the drinking experience. While stored in 100% new French oak, this does not display major oak influence. Finishing long, showing mouth-watering acidity with pretty red fruits and exotic spices, this beauty is absolutely singing now. Drink 2023-2035.” -96 points, Owen Bargreen, owenbargreen.com
