Vie Winery 2012 L’Imaginaire Grenache (Santa Barbara County)

Country: US / L’Imaginaire
Variety: Grenache California
Winery: Vie Winery / Santa Barbara County

Deemed “The Imaginary One,” this bottling shows a combination of spice and fruit on the nose, with gingersnap, red berry and strawberry aromas. There’s woody complexity on the crisp and clean palate, with cedar, incense, sandalwood, star anise and clove set against a red berry and fruit-punch frame.
