08 Arizona Stronghold Vineyards Grenache

Our brother vineyard, Arizona Stronghold, lies nestled in the foothills between the Chiricahua and Dragoon Mountains in Southeastern Arizona. Out vineyard manager, Craig Martinsen cares for these vines like they were our own Estate. This delicate, feminine Grenache is graced with a core of Rainier cherry and coastal strawberries, sweet vanilla, white flower blossoms and a dusty spice. While we also craft some darker wines from Grenache, we present this wine for the folks who appreciate subtlety and a lack of heaviness.
