![]() 2018 Grenache, Sonoma Valley, Estate VineyardRRC Wine Club Exclusive RRC Price $50.00
As grape varieties go, Grenache is grown and made into wine pretty much all over the world. Winemaker’s stylistic intent will dictate the outcome more than the grape. Winemaster Richard Arrowood again demonstrates finesse with this fresh and floral, easy-drinking wine that is more akin to Beaujolais than to the ultra-ripe expressions of Grenache that can be syrupy, thick and sweet with jammy fruitiness.
