Note di degustazione
Darkly floral and earthy in the best possible way, the 2019 Grenache Sur Echalas Vineyard keeps me coming back to the glass to take in its spicy bouquet of dried strawberries, bay leaf, graphite and dusty rose. This is pure elegance on the palate, silky and supple, with ripe red fruits offset by saline-minerals and spiced tangerine. The 2019 lingers impossibly long with sweet herbs, white pepper and slightly chewy tannins, yet it keeps the mouth watering for more. What a darling, and with the balance to age for a decade or more.

Planted as a high-density vineyard with a three-foot by three-foot spacing, the 2019 Grenache Sur Echalas Vineyard is red-fruited, savory, dusty and floral with an expressive, bright sanguine note and showcases hints of white peppercorn and iodine on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, the palate offers flavors of dusty cherry skin with wild raspberries before notions of umami and worn leather sway with delightful hints of smoked herbs and dried earth. The impressive wine glides to a fantastically juicy and balanced finish that has me smitten and coming back for more.
Similarly hued, the translucent ruby/plum-hued 2019 Grenache Sur Echalas Vineyard ratchets up the savory, meaty dial to 11 and has lots of red and black fruits, an incredibly meaty, beef tartare-like character, medium to full-bodied richness, ultra-fine tannins, and complex notes of truffly earth, leather, dried pepper, and shitake mushrooms. Always complex, layered, and singular, the 2019 certainly doesn't disappoint.
Aromas of wet stones, dried rose petals and sour cherries. Full-bodied with exhilarating acidity. Soft, fine tannins. Coffee mixes with ground spice and herbs. Complex and focused. Very well balanced and will age very nicely. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
