2006 Grenache
"Hansen Vineyard"
Livermore Valley
SOLD OUT AT WINERY

The Hansen Vineyard is just down the street from our Crane Ridge Estate. This year we were fortunate to get this gorgeous Grenache fruit along side our awesome Zinfandel allocation.

Allowing the wine to mature an extra twelve months in neutral oak barrels really gave it a chance to develop some earthy, spice characteristics that complement the classic berry quality found in Grenache. Subtle fennel and black pepper add depth to the raspberry and boysenberry nose. This is a savory wine that has a dominant strawberry fruit-leather flavor profile with a texture like raw silk. Served lightly chilled or at room temperature, this Grenache is moderate in weight and has a bright acidity that calls to mind the flavor of tart pomegranates.
