Description

This our first Grenache after waiting years for our own fruit to become available. We are very pleased with the results. Aged for 20 months in 1 new and two neutral puncheons (double barrels) this wine shows the classic elements of Grenache.

The owners of Grey Stack, the Young’s have easily become the real deal and one of the great new wineries to be discovered this year, and I can say I am so grateful to have been able to taste their wines this year. My friend, a Sonoma crusader, Bradley Gray, turned me on to Grey Stack, in fact he called me moments after trying the Grey Stack Sauvignon Blanc and told me it was the best white wine he could ever remember trying almost! Bradley knows his wine and he was right on the money. I ran into the Young’s at the Family Winemakers tasting in San Francisco and was able to try their whole line up and they all were fantastic wines and left a big impression on me. Then I was able to taste this wine, the Grey Stack Dry Stack Vineyard Grenache, and I recently re-tasted it, and again it proved remarkable and intensely pleasurable. The Grenache is perfumed with lots of fruit, flowers and lavender before a deep palate of plum, cherry, grenadine and mixed berries with hints of cassis, pepper, sweet herbs, graphite and pretty oak notes leaving a lingering vanilla aftertaste.

The dark ruby-hued 2007 Grenache Dry Stack Vineyard exhibits classic notes of black cherries, licorice, underbrush, and earth. The wine reveals lovely fruit on teh attach, then narrows slightly in the mouth. This restrained, elegant Greanche will not make anyone forget France's southern Rhone efforts, but it is a good example of California Grenache.

Wines like this one makes up hope that more Grenache will get planted in cool area vineyards. It has the lovely red berry fruit of the variety, is quietly but nicely accepting of its evident sweet oak influences and show glimpses of woodsy complexity that is well-fit to the wine's firm underbody. This is Grenache that has aging potential write large and extends the notion of the variety's range and possibilities in California.
