Grenache from France

James Suckling – 90 Points

Pure grenache and made as a solera that has been alive for twenty years with half of the new harvest being exchanged into the solera each year. The final blend is 50% solera wine and 50% wine of the new vintage. The richness is really something. Such deep-set grenache red and dark berries, as well as riper, raisiny notes. Long, smooth and deep. Drink now.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with stews, braises, and grilled meats, while lighter versions can work well with dark fish and tomato-based dishes such as ratatouille.
