Lot #1089. Sine Qua Non Grenache Dirt Vernacular 2016

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Score: 100 JD.
"One of the finest Grenaches to ever pass my lips is the 2016 Grenache Dirt Vernacular and it’s 78% Grenache, 11.5% Mourvèdre, 7% Touriga Nacional, and the rest Petite Sirah. Reminding me of an old vine Grenache cuvée from the Maurel brothers in Châteauneuf du Pape, it boasts a huge nose of black raspberries, kirsch liqueur, graphite, ground herbs, and pepper. This is one of those wines that offers incredible intensity and depth, yet still just glides over the palate with no sense of heaviness whatsoever. Full-bodied, rich, layered, and pure, it’s a riveting example of Grenache that could come from nowhere else. . ." Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com, 10/15/2018
Provenance: The Home State Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
