A majority of our 2021 Grenache is sourced from block 9 at Caelesta Vineyard. With only 17.8% coming from block 11, the hallmark Grenache source from our 2019 vintage. This steep north eastern slope may be one of the most exciting sites of the whole Templeton Gap. It receives early morning sun followed by plenty of shade and protection from brutal afternoon exposure. A dream for winemakers, terrifying for tractor drivers. Our 2021 offering went into completely neutral wood, this beauty was only racked in preparation for bottling like the rest of our wines. | ALLBAER...the 2021 Grenache will be brilliant. Classic Grenache red and blue fruit, leafy herbs, pepper, and candied flower notes all define the aromatics, and it's medium to full-bodied, with a supple, elegant mouthfeel, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. Still aging all in neutral oak, this is one seriously good Grenache in the making. | 94-96+ points, Jeb Dunnuck for jebdunnuck.com
