La Sirena 2012 Grenache (Napa Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Grenache California
Winery: La Sirena / Napa Valley

This brand is winemaker Heidi Peterson Barrett’s ode to Rhône, as well as a place for her own Bordeaux-varietal wines. The first vintage of this 100% varietal wine on its own, it’s soft and supple with a tannic backbone. Pretty plum aromas and a streak of peppery spice and leather are joined on the palate by juicy blueberry and finished off in restrained oak.
