D’Arenberg 2013 The Derelict Vineyard Grenache (McLaren Vale)

Country: Australia / South Australia
Variety: Grenache
Winery: D’Arenberg / The Derelict Vineyard

The d’Arenberg style favors structure over plushness, even in Grenache. This is crisp and firm, its cranberryish fruit tinged with hints of raspberry, orange zest, cinnamon and clove. Give it a few years to soften. Drink 2020–2030.
