"As mentioned above, the Brosseau is a complex vineyard - more a collection of 6-7 very distinct sites. The Hillsides is planted to the painfully low-yielding Clone 362, rich and wild, with darker color and bigger tannin than you would expect from Grenache. Our first vintage shows roasted strawberries, smoked ham, pink peppercorns, white pepper, rosehips, and green olive." Notes from the winery

Wine Profile
"This is an intriguingly structural style of Grenache, starting with aromas of hibiscus, pomegranate, dried rose petals, lanolin and wet stone. It's light and floral on the palate, with gently pressed pomegranate and raspberry flavors, framed by a crushed gravel minerality. The tannins and light frame ensure long life, so drink now through 2032." Matt Kettmann of Wine Enthusiast
