Tasting notes
The 2004 Grenache Clarendon Hills exhibits a lovely dark ruby color along with a big, sweet kiss of black cherry liqueur intermixed with hints of tobacco leaves and resiny pine forest scents. Aromatic, smooth, velvety textured, and sexy, this is a full-bodied, delicious Grenache to drink over the next 7-8 years. Importer: Wine Brokers Unlimited, tel. (866) 416-9463

Bright violet. Fresh red berries and gentle spices on the nose, with a light accent of white pepper. Silky and wonderfully sweet, with raspberry and strawberry flavors expanding slowly through a supple, long finish. No edges whatsoever here, just lush, suave fruit and more fruit. This could be confused with a sexy New World pinot.
