Gregory Graham 2006 Crimson Hill Vineyard Grenache

Item name:

An attractive red indeed! The nose delivers a bouquet of fragrant berries, subtle herb and vanilla. The palate is dry; light bodied, well balanced, and is moderately tannic. Terrific flavors of raspberry, black pepper and licorice guarantee a wonderfully long finish. Drink now or hold for additional bottle aging.

This terrific Australian red wine is 100% Grenache. Aromas of cassis, anisette and toasted oak are trademarks of a well developed wine. The palate is balanced and medium bodied with moderate tannins. Dry, opulent flavors of black cherry, licorice, and savory spices fill your mouth. A profound finish is to be expected. This wine is the perfect accompaniment with your favorite steak. Drink now or hold for another ten years.
