Grenache is difficult to work with – it grows vigorously, ripens unevenly, is often light in color and character, can lack acidity, and is susceptible to rot. But the work to grow and make Grenache has a great payoff in this blend of four distinct Grenache batches. We used grapes from young vines at Arizona Stronghold Vineyard for soft, blue-fruit. Fruit from two separate picks off the Norte Block at ASV add spice and a red, rosy character, while a little Colibri Vineyards Grenache contributes more spice, tannin and flavor intensity.
