2005 Denner Grenache

The trio of superb red wines includes the seriously-endowed 2005 Grenache, which exhibits sexy kirsch liqueur aromas intermixed with scents of licorice, pepper, and spice. While not complex, it is round, generous, full-bodied, and hedonistic. Consume this knock-out Grenache over the next 2-4 years. Denner Vineyards is still under the radar, but is undoubtedly an up-and-coming source for good Rhone Ranger offerings. And why shouldn’t it be as its vineyards are situated just across the street from the fabulous grand cru site of Saxum’s James Berry Vineyard. Tel. (805) 239-4287; Fax (805) 239-0154
