Sticks & Stones
75% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvedre
A celebration of Grenache -- delicious, bright, and elegant. The invigorating flavors of wild strawberries are flecked with cinnamon, rosewater, raspberry, molasses and creme brulee. The wine flows across your palate like silk billowing in the breeze, softly tickling your tongue while it wraps you in luxury. Medium grain tannins start to melt away as almond and black cherry linger on the finish. Decant to release the aromatics and relax the tannins. Enjoy now through 2033; the longer you wait, the more the acidity will soften, and truffle and leather will emerge.
Pairings: Crispy garlic over carbonara, sweet and spicy barbecued wings, butter poached cod with fresh herbs, Brillat Savarin (or any triple creme cheese)
