Andremily 2021 Grenache Central Coast 98 Points

Jeb Dunnuck 98 Points: “Tasted out of the bottle, the 2021 Grenache is 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and 5% Mourvèdre that saw 60% stems and 21 months in 50% new demi-muids and the balance in used barrels. It has a slightly purer and more precise perfume of ripe blackberries, ground pepper, violets, and game. This carries to a full-bodied Grenache offering flawless overall balance, a pure, cool climate, vibrant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and an incredible finish. It needs 2-3 years of bottle age and will evolve for 15+ years.”

Winery Notes: “This wine is not for the uninitiated. Fashioned from a blend of 80% Grenache,15% Syrah, and 5% Mourvedre that lived 21 months in 50% new French oak. This temptress is not to be taken lightly. The 2021 Grenache was 55% destemmed and fermented over a period of 14 to 72 days. Offering a massive bouquet of dark rich fruit, blackberry, raspberry puree, white pepper, crushed flowers, and exotic spices. The 2021 is rich and full bodies on the palette with fine-grained tannins, and plenty of cool climate acidity. This baby finishes frisky and delicious. If you are a lover of the finer things in life, then this wine is right up your alley. We recommend you give this wine a healthy decant to really allow it to show its full potential.  There is no doubt that the 2021 vintage, with its long even summer, will go down as a landmark vintage on the central coast”
