2016 VIE “L’Imaginaire” Grenache

We are pleased to announce that our 2016 VIE “L’Imaginaire” Grenache received “Top Grenache in America” & Best of Class & 95 points from American Fine Wine.

“In 2015, the fruit was more concentrated than the previous vintage. In the nose, this wine exhibits dark raspberry and cranberry fruit with perfumed aromas of potpourri, savory spices, and a subtle hint of licorice. The light and elegant, yet focused, palate carries several layers of red berry and dark cherry fruit integrated with notes of black pepper, smoked meat, and ash, reminiscent of a summer campfire. This multi-layered palate continues on to a focused, concentrated finish which continues to evolve in the mouth with lingering red and black fruit with a hint of tobacco. This wine can be enjoyed with fish, chicken or duck over the next 5-7 years. “
