2023 Garnacha
100% Grenache. Fresh red fruits, orange peel, camphor, and coriander are rolled into a medium-bodied palate full of glycerin and intrigue. The tannin structure is enthusiastic and lively, accompanied by a plethora of red and blue fruits, chalky limestone, and wild West Paso flora. It begs for a decant in the near term to give it the opportunity to really spread its wings and soar. Drink 2025–2040
“Sourced entirely from the Maha estate and matured for two years in neutral barrique and puncheons, the 2023 Garnacha is one of the most aromatically dazzling wines in the stable. An immediately captivating nose of dried flowers, dried herbs, wet slate and asphalt is set against a red- and blue-fruited background, setting up a suave, dense yet electric palate. It finishes with a searingly intense, mineral-driven finish that regenerates the savory components first observed on the nose.”
