2005 Herman Story Grenache Larner Vineyard $44.60 WA93

Herman Story
A Grenache Dry Red Table wine from
Santa Ynez Valley, Santa Barbara, Central Coast, California
One of the finest Grenaches made in California is the 2005 Grenache from the Larner Vineyard, a potential grand cru site. An opulent, full-bodied, hedonistic effort, it boasts oodles of kirsch, raspberry, black fruit, licorice, pepper, and spice characteristics, tasting like Santa Ynez’s version of a Chateauneuf du Pape. Moreover, the price for this quality level is noteworthy! Enjoy it during its first 5-6 years of life.
