2019 Grenache

Appellation: Temecula Valley

Alcohol: 12.9%

Residual Sugar: 0.2%

Oak: Aged 14 months American and French, 25% new

Composition: 82% La Cresta Grenache, 16% La Cresta Syrah, 2% La Cresta Viognier

Tasting Notes:

Because Temecula tends to have warmer summers, our Grenache shows more ripe fruit notes, paired nicely with a heavier toasted oak profile that brings out some delicious chocolate notes.  

Winemaker’s Notes:

Typically our Grenache is blended into our Domestique blend, however, our 2019 vintage was ample and showed beautiful varietal character, so we decided to bottle some as a stand alone Grenache.  

Food Pairing Ideas:

Goat cheese, fresh strawberries with balsamic reduction, grilled portobellos
