2006 Camp 4 Grenache
$28.00
This wine was a fun one to make and a great one to drink! The make up of the wine is actually 85% greanche and 15% syrah from Camp 4 Vineyards in the Eastern part of the Santa Ynez Valley. The grenache and syrah components were fermented separately and then blended together about a month prior to bottling. A very small amount of whole clusters were left in the grenache component to add some aromatic complexity and some additional structure to the wine.
What makes this wine special to me are the aromatics. I love grenache and it has a great deal to do with aromatics – bright, soaring raspberry / cherry licorice aromas scream from the glass, with a healthy dose of mixed spices, a touch of earthiness, and a hint of oak. A pleasure to drink now, this will continue to develop nicely in the bottle for some time to come!
