08 Colibri Vineyards Grenache
This is our first year working with Colibri Vineyards and I hope it’s not our last. Located on the Northeast slopes of the Chiricahua Mountains at an elevation of 5200′, this vineyard has tons of character. The most tannic Arizona Grenache we made from this cool, rainy vintage, this wine is both unruly and refined. The polished, feminine fruit, silky texture and the lusty hint of lipstick on the nose are balanced by a wild green spice, gritty tannins and an unmistakably Colibri earthiness.
