2020 Garnacha MAGNUM
“Grenache delivers everything that Pinot Noir promises…”
-Unknown
97% Grenache, 3% Syrah. The MAHA Estate and James Berry Vineyard join forces again to create one badass Grenache. A deep magenta color pulls you into the glass. Notes of cranberry, muddled spring flowers, musk and Absinthe conjure a scene from Moulin Rouge. Steeped cherries, candied orange peel, anise, white pepper and modest tannins transition to a generous palate with great purity and precision. Several years of cellaring will reward those who have restraint and patience. For those of you who want a YUMMY Grenache NOW (think Veruca Salt), splash decant it and watch the Moulin Rouge emerge. Drink 2023-2035.
"The 2020 Garnacha comes from the Maha Vineyard and James Berry Vineyard. It has a deep ruby-purple color and slightly muted scents of pomegranate, cranberry, earth and aniseed. The medium-bodied palate is packed with jammy fruits and spicy accents framed by chewy tannins, and there is a touch of bitterness on the finish." 92 pts Erin Brooks
