Andremily Wines Grenache, Santa Barbara County, USA 2022

#16 in Top 100 Wines, 2025. A mix of Slide Hill and Alta Mesa vineyards, the 2022 Grenache is based on 82% Grenache, 10% Syrah, and 8% Mourvèdre, fermented with 60% whole clusters and aged in 50% new barrique and demi-muids. Black raspberries, herbes de Provence, pepper, and iron dominate the bouquet. It’s full-bodied and beautifully concentrated, with ripe tannins, a layered mouthfeel, and outstanding length. Wonderfully complex and complete, this is a sensational Rhône blend to enjoy over the coming decade or more. Drink 2025-2037.
