Casa Dumetz 2014 Larner Grenache (Ballard Canyon)

Country: US / California
Variety: Grenache
Winery: Casa Dumetz / Larner

The most reserved of this winery’s Grenache studies, this bottling shows baked red cherry, red currant, cola and slate on the nose. An iron-based minerality shows on the earthy palate, which also offers chipped slate, cranberry and tart cherry elements. It’s a tad light but still intriguingly textured.
