Sine Qua Non "Dirt Vernacular" Grenache
Grenache, Mourvedre, Petite Sirah, Touriga Nacional
| Vintage: | 2016 |
|---|---|
| Description: | 78% Grenache, 11.5% Mourvedre, 7% Touriga Nacional and 3.5% Petite Sirah. 43% whole clusters. Raised in 38% new French oak, 600 liter vats, 53% used barrels and 9% concrete. "One of the finest Grenaches to ever pass my lips is the 2016 Grenache Dirt Vernacular and it's 78% Grenache, 11.5% Mourvèdre, 7% Touriga Nacional, and the rest Petite Sirah. Reminding me of an old vine Grenache cuvée from the Maurel brothers in Châteauneuf du Pape, it boasts a huge nose of black raspberries, kirsch liqueur, graphite, ground herbs, and pepper. This is one of those wines that offers incredible intensity and depth, yet still just glides over the palate with no sense of heaviness whatsoever. Full-bodied, rich, layered, and pure, it's a riveting example of Grenache that could come from nowhere else. Drink it any time over the coming 15+ years." - Jeb Dunnock, 100pts. |
