Grenache

14412 visitors

Grenache is probably the most widely planted variety of red wine grape in the world. It ripens late, so needs hot, dry conditions such as those found in Spain and in the south of France. It is generally spicy, berry-flavoured and soft on the palate with a relatively high alcohol content, but it needs careful control of yields for best results. It tends to lack acid, tannin and colour, and is usually blended with other varieties such as Syrah, Carignan and Cinsaut.

More information on Grenache

Food Pairing: Pairs well with grilled lamb chops, smoked or dried meats, steaks and stews. Pour Grenache with barbecue ribs and even try with a salty smoked fish.

2005 Grenache
McDowell Valley

This Grenache is made from vines that are over 100 years old from the McDowell Valley Vineyard in Mendocino County. These gnarly, head-trained vines produce small quantities of gra ...morepes loaded with character. The wine has deep flavors of raspberries with complex exotic spiciness that includes white pepper. It has a very aromatic nose with an intriguing interplay between exotic spice and many different fruit and floral elements. This dance of spice, fruit and flowers continues in the mouth and long into the finish.

2006 Garnacha
Clements Hills

Our Garnacha is reminiscent of the dense, spicy, Spanish red wines produced from this variety in its area of origin â€“ Aragon . Due to minimal irrigation and severe pruning, its s ...moremaller berries and higher skin-to-juice ratio give it a deep color showing bright red hues with a tinge of blue. Subtle notes of pomegranate and cassis reveal themselves along with a slightly floral quality in the nose. Complex layers of strawberry and bright fruit combine in the palate for a delicious, lengthy finish. A medium-bodied wine, this Garnacha shows excellent balance, fresh acidity and bright flavors.

2005 Grenache Estate

We think it still smells heavenly, with aromas of fresh cherry, raspberry, plum, pepper and allspice. While a bit softer than our 2004 vintage, it is still full bodied and slightly ...more chewy and should develop quite nicely over the next few years.

2004 Rockinâ€™ One
Paso Robles

The Grenache was cropped from an estimated 10-12 tons per acre to 4 tons per acre to improve the intensity of the flavor and the color. They were hand picked and delivered to Dan K ...moreleck at his facility in Paso Robles in 2004, the year before we opened our own winery. We were very happy with the nose and the flavors of the Grenache all by itself. We added what we felt was the minimum amount of Syrah to add backbone to the wine without overpowering it.

2005 Grenache
Paso Robles

Grenache is always blended with another grape because the tannins in Grenache are naturally very low. Consequently, Grenache all by itself does not age well. You will often find it ...more blended with Syrah and/or MourvÃ¨dre. We were very happy with the nose and the flavors of the Grenache, so we tried blending it with a minimal amount of MourvÃ¨dre to add spice and backbone to the Grenache. Think of it as a hearty Pinot, with lots of strawberry notes.

2006 Grenache
Dry Creek Valley

If our 2005 Grenache resembles a Chateauneuf du Pape, this 2006 is more like a Gigondas â€“ meaning it has higher tone fruit and pepper with bright acidity. It has intense aromati ...morecs of raspberry, blackberry, tar, pepper, licorice, and dried herbs. Though more fruit forward than the 2005, this Grenache has the stuff to last at least 3 to five years, but should really start showing well in two years. We really love making this wine.

2005 Grenache
Dry Creek Valley

Clearly our most concentrated, full-bodied and structured Grenache blend to date. It has intense aromatics of raspberry, blackberry, tar, pepper, licorice, and dried herbs. On th ...moree palate it has a juicy, silky texture with firm but entirely ripe tannins. This is, by far, my favorite wine weâ€™ve ever made here at Unti. It has the stuff to last at least 5 to 7 years, but should really start showing its stuff in two years.

2004 Grenache
Dry Creek Valley

I am proud to say this is one of the few California Rhone-style blends that will have you thinking of the Vaucluse (Southern Rhone). It has intense aromatics of raspberry, tar, pep ...moreper, dried herbs, with a silky, sexy texture on the palate. It is a skosh riper and lower in acid than our previous vintage. Is this my favorite Unti wine? Ya think? It should improve until September 24, 2007. After that, drink it as often as possible.
