Casa Dumetz 2015 Larner Grenache (Ballard Canyon)

Country: US / Larner
Variety: Grenache California
Winery: Casa Dumetz / Ballard Canyon

Beautifully bright aromas of pomegranate, cherry, rose petals, hibiscus and cola draw the nose deeply into this bottling by Sonja Magdevski, who’s focusing almost exclusively on Grenache these days. The tannins are firmer than expected for a lighter style, carrying impressive flavors of violet, cola and rose. It’s delicate but grippy.
