This is an aromatic Grenache with a perfume of ripe strawberry and cranberry fruit and a little spice and florals. The palate is mid-weight, fresh and silky with succulence amid a powerful frame of spicy, granular tannins. Elegant, varietal and easy-drinking.

The 2021 Samuel's Collection Bush Vine Grenache leads with sour cherry (the good kind), raspberry seed and a hint of black olive tapenade on the nose. In the mouth, the wine is fine/tight/lithe, with a very ripe-feeling finish. It is cushioned and plump and leaning into mulberry jam through the finish. The wine has nailed the aromatics and errs on the side of uncomplicated in the mouth. A nice splay of tannin supports the fruit in the mouth. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.

Shows candied berry and cherry flavors that peek through a core of earth, herb, toast and cedar notes on a soft, easy-drinking frame. Drink now. 2,000 cases imported.
