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.

2004 Grenache
Santa Barbara County

Grenache seems to be enjoying more and more success around the world. In the past, we have primarily used Grenache as a blending grape for wines like Revelation. But last year we m ...moreade our first 100% Grenache wine (called Gypsy, this year we are calling it Grenache) and we had outstanding results! (And feedback!) So, we are very excited to once again have this wine back in the tasting room. Our Grenache was primarily grown on Rodneyâ€™s Vineyard at the Fess Parker winery. This is one of the last blocks we pick every year and 2004 was no exception. After picking the grapes in mid October and fermenting the grapes for 15 days, we aged the wine in 100% Cadus French oak barrels. We decided to put the wine into year-old barrels to ensure that the oak flavors would not be too dominant in the finished wine.

This wine has wonderful aromatics and shows bright cherry & strawberry fruit flavors on the palate. Youâ€™ll find enticing cinnamon/spice notes reminiscent of apple pie along with slight smoky, toasty oak flavors. It is a wine with good balance, structure and soft, approachable tannins. We believe it is an age-worthy wine, but also bet it wonâ€™t last long in your cellar after you

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, Nielson Vineyard
