2014 Herman Story Grenache On the Road
Estimated value
Buying options
Tasting notes
Deep ruby. Deep-pitched aromas of red berry liqueur, licorice and candied flowers are energized by a spicy topnote. Smooth, concentrated and expansive on the palate, offering plush red and blue fruit and rose pastille flavors plus a sexy touch of star anise. Marries richness to vivacity with a sure hand, finishing very long and gently tannic, with a repeating red fruit note.

Coming from sites spread throughout the Central Coast (hence the name), the 2014 On The Road (Grenache) is a ripe, sexy beauty that's loaded with classic Grenache notes of black cherries, licorice, smoked herbs and earth. This big, rich and nicely concentrated Grenache has more mid-palate depth and concentration than most and is a no-brainer purchase to enjoy over the coming 5-6 years.
