Grenache Noir grows in Spain and South of France. It adds spicy taste on Spanish Rioja and makes Rioja stronger. Grenache is also the powerful force of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas in France. In California with plenty of sunshine, Grenache wines have aromas of juicy plums and vanilla.
Dolcetto means “a little sweet”, it expresses original fruit flavor of grapes. The 2013 vintage of our estate Dolcetto has sharp tannins and will age beautifully for another 6-8 years. It has a lot of dark berry flavors on top of mocha and licorice.
Wine Notes:
