2021 Grenache - Bassi Ranch Vineyard, San Luis Obispo Coast Retail: $40 Wine Club $32
This is such an interesting wine for us; it is a familiar clone of Grenache Noir but coast-grown, night and day. Lots of blue here, Boysenberry, wild blueberry, all laced with a cedar spice. It is bright, vibrant and lively. The bright character is apparent on the palate: blackberries from the bush, pomegranate acidity spice, and a great violet note. The finish is long and lively. It feels that this wine will be a long-lived one.
