Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
This Grenache wine captivates with a deep, ruby red color. It exudes a mesmerizing aroma of black cherry, scorched earth, and savory notes. On the palate, it glides in smoothly, revealing the intense flavors of black raspberry and subtle hints of cocoa. The wine finishes with a touch of white pepper spice, adding a delightful complexity. Overall, it is a superb expression of Grenache, showcasing its versatility and charm. The balance between fruity sweetness and earthy undertones creates a harmonious and elegant drinking experience. Enjoy it on its own or pair it with lamb, grilled steak and vegetables and even spicier dishes!
Vineyard Notes
The Tofanelli family has been farming their 40 Acre estate right in the heart of Calistoga since 1929. This completely organic and dry farmed estate boasts rows of head trained vines that drape over the center of the plant. The soil is tilled 6 inches every year which acts as an insulating later and keeps the deeper soil moist in the hot summer months. The sunny days and cool nights of Calistoga contribute to the optimal ripening conditions for Grenache grapes, allowing them to develop their characteristic ripe fruit flavors and retain good acidity.
