Winemaker's Notes

Grenache noir is the world's most widely planted grape used to make red wine, sometimes made into a stand-alone varietal, frequently as a rosé, but most often as a backbone of red blends. It hails from the Northern Rhone of France.

Flavor profiles of black berry, ripe strawberry and black currant . In our region is commonly referred to a Foothill Pinot due to its lighter body and forward fruit. Enjoy alone or with pizza, lightly grilled meats or smoky pasta dishes.
