"A ripe but transparent ruby, the 2021 Grenache Rossi Ranch is fresh and spicy, with loads of cinnamon, white pepper, and grenadine. This medium to full-bodied red is juicy with wild berries, strawberries, and smoky earth, and it delivers fine tannins, a soft texture, and floral length. Drink 2023-2028." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Translucent medium ruby-garnet in color.  A highly perfumed nose of kirsch, strawberry, sandalwood, and white pepper.  Even a touch of orange rind and bergamot.  Very complex and very compelling.  Medium-full to full bodied with flavors of raspberry, red cherry, and orange.  In a word, superb, and a shining example of why they call Grenache the Pinot of the Southern Rhône.  Well-integrated chalky tannins in the finish portend of more greatness to come.  Age-worthy.  Drink now with a good decant through 2034."
