A Tribute to Grace Thompson Vineyard Grenache, Santa Ynez Valley, USA 2021

On the nose, expect aromas of ripe red fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, and cherries, accompanied by floral notes of lavender and rose petals. Grenache from Thompson Vineyard often showcases a subtle spiciness, with hints of white pepper and a touch of dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied with silky tannins and refreshing acidity. Flavors of red berries dominate, complemented by hints of earthiness and a mineral undertone that reflects the vineyard’s rocky soils. The wine is elegantly structured, with a smooth texture and a lingering finish that leaves impressions of fruit and spice.
