| Description: | Leave your penny loafers at home. This wine is the troublemaker in the Ivy Leagues. Who knew Grenache could demonstrate such piercing identity among the well healed? Think turned-up collar, extra-large comb in the back pocket of your faded Jordache jeans groovin' to "Maneater" = Swagger. Spear and Robert Rae vineyards create the dynamic duo for this wine. Spear and Robert Rae are organically farmed by awesome people. Spear receives morning warmth on its east facing sandy slope protected from the fierce oceanic westward afternoon winds. The fruit is plump, juicy and strategic in focus. Robert Rae is perched high above Santa Rosa road overlooking the entire Sta. Rita Hills from its intimate sunlight receiving west-facing clay-loam vista. The yield is never as much - it seems you actually can't get enough of a good thing. This fruit is fierce and potent. 50% whole cluster fermentation, always. Long, cool gentle fermentation. 30+ days on the skins. Pressed into neutral French oak barrels for aging. Antonio Galloni 95 Points - "The 2021 Grenache (Sta. Rita Hills) is fabulous. A blend of Spear, Robert Rae and Peake Ranch, the Sta. Rita Hills are all nicely dialed up in this layered, resonant Grenache. All the elements are so well balanced. There's real depth and substance here.". Jeb Dunnuck 92 Points - "i continue to love these wines from Sonja Magdevski, which are never the biggest or richest wines in the vintage yet always shine for their incredible elegance and finesse, and Ive often compared them to Pinot Noir. In general, the reds here are not destemmed and are brought up all in neutral barrels.". "The appellation 2021 Grenache Sta. Rita Hills has a savory, underbrush, black cherry, and darker raspberry-driven perfume. This carries to a medium-bodied, silky, incredibly pure Grenache offering present yet ripe, silky tannins, no hard edges, and outstanding length. As with all the Grenache releases here, it's not about power or richness and is closer in style to Pinot Noir. It is, however, beautifully done in the style." |
