2004 Santa Cruz Mtn Grenache

[winoweenie]

Teeth-staining, tongue-coating, mouth-filling juice! From 100 year old vines from McDowell Valley Vineyard in Mendicino this is one kick-patootie bootle of lush juice. Medium deep ruby. Nose hints of red and black berries with an overlay of all-spice, cinnamon and ginger. Blue-black and rasp berries come over on the palate along with an impression of the sweet spices. A different grape varietal for me and really a marvelous experience. Solid entry, weighty center and a 3&3/4ths lapper finish. Will go with about any foods you want to pair it with. Strongly suggest any board member who has shipping to get on this tremendous suppliers wine-club list. They not only make some of the best wines,IMHO, in Calif but their pricing is a breath of fresh air. 91/93. 12.5%alc. 14 by the box on the club.WW
