2016 Boer Vineyard Grenache
Our 5th vintage, remarkably consistent from year to year. We love the purity of the Grenache flavors from this vineyard. The terroir of limestone and decomposed granite, mixed with the hot arid climate and cool nights, lead to a beautiful expression of Grenache with lovely mineral and tannin structure. As always, we raise this wine in neutral French oak barrels.

“Light rosewater, strawberry and cherry-juice aromas meet with rounded star anise and baking spice on the nose of this single-vineyard expression. There is great chalky tension to the palate and a ripping acidity, framing flavors of red fruit, orange rind and, on the finish, vanilla paste.”
