2019 "The Sorceress" Grenache 750mL
Our 2019 Sorceress Grenache is 100% Grenache sourced from three exceptional sites: 43% Upland, 32% French Creek, and 25% WeatherEye Vineyards. The wine saw 50% whole cluster during its cool fermentation, and was aged in neutral French oak puncheons for 15 months on the lees. Notes of red and black cherries, along with cinnamon spice, charcuterie meats, cola nut, and forest floor dominate the nose, followed by flavors of more cherries, as well as some darker fruits like fresh picked plums. It is energetic, showing youthful tension provided by the terrific acidity and stem inclusion, yet the tannins are completely refined. This wine will age well for at least a decade, but do not be afraid of popping one open sooner, hopefully with great friends!

Jeb Dunnuck:
All Grenache, the 2019 Grenache The Sorceress Reserve reveals a translucent ruby/purple color as well as pretty, savory red fruits, sandalwood, and spicy aromas and flavors. Lightly textrured and medium-bodied, with some obvious minerality, it't beautifully balanced and capable of keeping for 7-8 years. 92 Points
