Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Spiced ground lamb kebabs
  • Chicken liver pate on crostini
  • Slow-roasted pork shoulder

Wet leaves, raspberries, and fennel seed on the nose lead to a soft and round California Grenache that features warm notes of clove and allspice and supple, velvety tannins. A small percentage of Mourvedre adds a dose of earthiness to this excellent Dry Creek valley bottling.
