TN: 2016 La Marea Grenache Spur Ranch (USA, California, Central Coast, San Benito County)

Finished the botte tonight on Day 8 (in the fridge). Still delicious but lacking some of the earthier notes of the first few nights. Ian Brand and his soul mates at Birichino (Alex and John) do a fine job with Grenache!

  • 2016 La Marea Grenache Spur Ranch - USA, California, Central Coast, San Benito County (6/24/2021)
    Translucent medium red in the glass. Beautiful forest floor, mushroom, red fruit, and funk on the nose. Very complex on the nose and keeps evolving. A beautiful savory character with red fruits on the palate. Bracing acidity throughout with that forest floor carrying through. Med finish dominated by fruit, savory notes, and acid bouncing around. The tannins are soft and well integrated. Delicous wine. Should pair well with food or served stand alone.
