Grenache fans will instantly recognize the grape’s classic garnet color, and the scent of strawberries and rhubarb wafting up from the glass with a hint of dry summer spices. But this is Oregon, not France, so the wine comes with greater ripeness and richness even as it perfectly captures the minerality of the rocky vineyard block we chose especially for it. If you like the flavors of Pinot Noir but sometimes wish it had more grip and texture, take this Grenache home and savor how perfectly it complements any full-flavored meal.
