Showing more of the variety's wild, herbal side, the 2017 Fifth Wave Grenache reveals hints of rosemary, fennel and sage on the nose, backed by plenty of red-berried fruit. Full and round on the palate, it's silky and spicy rather than rich or heavy, with a long, refreshing finish. This vineyard, under this winemaking regime, seems able to reflect vintage variation without any substantive change in overall quality.
