2022 Upsidedown Wines The Gold Drop Collection Grenache | Dead Poplar Vineyard Vineyard Yakima Valley Washington 750ml

Our Dead Poplar Estate Vineyard is planted on ancient Yakima River soils composed of a mixture of sandy soils that scream aromatics. Organic farming and natural garrigue is allowed to blossom in the vineyard creating beautiful smells through the end of harvest season. The north slopes elongate the hang time as days get shorter come fall, this allowing for slow ripening and sugar accumulation. Be patient and the wine will open up over the course of a few hours and show you a beautiful, elegant side of Grenache that we adore. We recommend 3-4 hours in the decanter and a temperature of 65 degrees in the glass. | Upsidedown Wines

Coming from their estate vineyard, which is set on sandy soils, this 2022 Grenache saw partial stem inclusion. The nose is highly perfumed with layers of gorgeous red fruits, with tobacco leaf and orange peel. The palate is fresh with a smooth texture and good sense of weight... | 94 points, Owen Bargreen
