Carhartt Vineyard 2012 Grenache (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Grenache California
Winery: Carhartt Vineyard / Santa Ynez Valley

This wine, which blends 75% estate fruit with 25% from Rodney’s Vineyard, offers black raspberry juice, black cardamom, allspice, buttered cherries and sandalwood on the nose. Bright strawberry fruit flavors are enhanced with clove spice, and a decently tart tension holds it all together.
