Andremily 2018 Grenache Santa Barbara 99 Points

Jeb Dunnuck 99 Points; “Just about pure perfection, the 2018 Grenache is another deep ruby/purple-hued wine from this estate that has an incredible freshness paired with richness in its ripe black fruits, white and black pepper, licorice, and spice-driven aromas and flavors. Utterly seamless on the palate, it shows the pure, elegant, lively style of the vintage yet brings incredible depth and richness. It’s world class Grenache all the way and will evolve for 10-15 years in cold cellars. The 2018 checks in as 80% Grenache, 14% Mourvèdre, and 6% Syrah that saw the standard 65% whole clusters. The élevage was 21 months in 50% new barrique and 600-liter barrels.”
