"One of the finest Grenaches to ever pass my lips is the 2016 Grenache Dirt Vernacular and itâs 78% Grenache, 11.5% MourvĂšdre, 7% Touriga Nacional, and the rest Petite Sirah. Reminding me of an old vine Grenache cuvĂ©e from the Maurel brothers in ChĂąteauneuf 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, itâs a riveting example of Grenache that could come from nowhere else. . ."
