The 2008 Blewitt Springs Vineyard Grenache has a medium garnet-purple color and a wonderfully fragrant nose of wilted roses, cassia, warm raspberries and cherries, mace, chocolate and dried leaves. Rich and full with a medium to firm level of velvety tannins, the crisp acid is in harmony with the concentrated flavors and lingers into the long finish. Drinking now, it should remain fresh to 2015. Importer: Wine Brokers Unlimited, Hayward, CA

Firm in texture, with a surprising grip of tannins holding the dark, spicy flavors. This becomes more focused on spice than blueberry and licorice as the finish lingers. Best after 2015. 250 cases imported.??–HS??Region: Australia / Clarendon Select to Add
