The 2003 Grenache Thiele Road, produced from a 62-year-old vineyard, was aged in neutral French oak for 17 months. Its dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by a superb perfume of black cherry liqueur, pepper, spice box, and flowers. Powerful yet beautifully balanced with sensational purity, a spectacular, multi-layered texture, and abundant fruit result in a sumptuous glass of Grenache that should drink well for 7-8 years.
