Note di degustazione
The 2007 Grenache Old Vines Romas Vineyard is quite light in the glass and has a gentle haze running through it. The fruit here is fully destemmed, and the wine feels chalky and super fresh. This has none of the charry density that some of the previous wines have had, and while it may be an outlier in that regard, it seems to very elegantly express what was in essence a hot dry year. I love this wine for its refreshing tannin detail and spice. Sealed under natural cork, poured from magnum.

(84-year-old vines) Saturated ruby. The most aromatically complex of this year's set of grenache bottlings, displaying red and dark berries, cherry, rooty sassafras, smoky herbs and a sexy floral quality. Rich, palate-staining raspberry and boysenberry flavors are given shape by fine-grained tannins, which gain power with air. Packed with dense fruit but slow to show itself right now, finishing with a late note of exotic floral pastilles and very good youthful grip. This could use a couple years to unwind.
