2012 Wind Gap Wines Grenache Sceales Vineyard - USA, California, Sonoma County, Alexander Valley (1/10/2016)
Does elegance belong in Grenache? Every time I open a bottle of this wine I am surprised at how Pax has taken a grape that is usually in your face and exuberant, and created a wine of purity, grace and fine definition. The red fruit is there, with herbal overtones, but it never gets candied, never hot or overdone as can often happen with Grenache. Very satisfying as an aperitif and with dinner.
