Bonny Doon 2014 Clos de Gilroy Grenache (Monterey County)

Country: US / Clos de Gilroy
Variety: Grenache California
Winery: Bonny Doon / Monterey County

This Randall Grahm wine, which also includes 9% Mourvèdre and 2% Syrah, hits the nose with tight raspberry juice, hibiscus, cola and iron aromas, proving tight and mineral-driven. Pencil lead leads the lighter palate, which also shows brisk pomegranate, black and white pepper and a menthol-like Sichuan-peppercorn sensation on the finish. It’s a tremendous wine for the price.
