2004 Kalleske Grenache Old Vine Basket Pressed

From vines planted in 1935, the 2004 Grenache Old Vine (100% Grenache aged in neutral French and American oak for two years) reveals a big, sweet nose of black raspberries, sweet cherries, pepper, spice, and resiny notes. Rich, heady, and full-bodied with moderate alcohol for the vintage (15.5%), this long, evolved Grenache is best drunk over the next 4-5 years.
