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.

1L of pure fruit and acid deliciousness.  This wine is about opening up and drinking, don't overthink it.  In fact, you don't need to think about it at all, crack the screw cap and refill those glasses just a few more times than you would with a mere 750ml.  This wine is 100% carbonic maceration.  For optimum taste and fresh spritzy-ness drink now, but if your inclined the Cinsault will age gracefully for 2-3yrs.
