The 2005 The Derelict Vineyard Grenache was aged for 12 months in seasoned French and American oak. It offers intense aromas of lavender, kirsch, mulberry, and cranberry leading to a seamless, full-throttle Grenache with layers of flavor, superb depth and concentration, and a long, pure finish. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. D’Arenberg has been owned and operated by the Osborn family since its inception in 1912. The portfolio, with a focus on Rhone varietals, is wide-ranging and value-oriented from top to bottom. Importer: Gavin Speight, Old Bridge Cellars, Napa, CA; tel.
