"The 2019 Grenache John Sebastiano is a real powerhouse. In most vintages, the Grenache is lighter, but in the 2019 readers will find a structured, deep wine that impresses with power and textural intensity. All the Grenache signatures are dialed up in this super-intriguing wine from Adam Tolmach and Fabien Castel. A dollop of whole clusters (14%) add character, without dominating the balance. The Grenache is one of the most impressive wines in this tasting."
Winemaker Notes:
"The entry on the palate is rich, dark-fruited, and laced with savory herbs. Then you find a lively interplay between glossy fruit and spicy tannin that lengthens the wine, leaving notes of sweet raspberry, pomegranate candy, and bloomed spices. Right now, once it’s fully aerated this wine is yummy as can be, but some cellaring will make this an indelible experience of Grenache."
Alcohol: 13.5%
