2006 Grenache (Crimson Hill Vineyard)
The crimson red, volcanic soil of our vineyard provides the the perfect site for growing red wines. This wine is an example of the quality that can be attained by the vigneron "wine grower," where the grower and winemaker are the same. This unique and exceptional wine is the creation and result of Greg's experience, passion, and effort.
The 2006 Crimson Hill Grenache exhibits aromas of ripe cherry and pomegranate with highlights of white pepper and passion fruit. The wine bursts with flavors of ripe cherry, cinnamon and spice. This structured wine calls for moderate fare such as smoked chicken alfredo.
