Casa Dumetz 2014 John Sebastiano Grenache (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / John Sebastiano
Variety: Grenache California
Winery: Casa Dumetz / Santa Ynez Valley

Rich cherry jam, dew-covered thyme and a touch of licorice show on this bottling from a vineyard on the eastern fringe of the Sta. Rita Hills. Round red fruits and an anise character show right away on the palate, which grows more complex with pencil lead, cinnamon and dried herbs.
