"Light ruby. Smells of strawberries, dried cherries, herbs and a hint of sawdust. In the mouth, fleecy, muscular tannins firmly grip flavours of strawberry jam, herbs and dried flowers. There™s a hint of astringency here, along with the herbal notes, that lingers in the finish. Very good acidity. GV (AY)"

"The 2023 Grenache (Santa Barbara County) is a blend from Santa Barbara Highlands, Thompson, Dorigo and Vie Caprice, done with 71% whole clusters and partial carbonic maceration. Energy and brightness run from start to finish, layered with floral nuance and notes of red cherry pastille, lilac and blood orange. This silky, velvety Grenache is all finesse."

"Light ruby and translucent hued, the 2023 Grenache Santa Barbara County offers a pretty, cherry, floral, raspberry, and fresh rose petal-like perfume. It's medium-bodied, has a supple, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and just a charming, soft, seamless profile. Based on 100% Grenache fermented with 71% whole clusters and aged 11 months in neutral barrels, it's going to be on a fast evolutionary track yet is another singular beauty from Angela Osborne. Drink 2025-2029."

"The 2022 Grenache (Santa Barbara County) is a fabulous introduction to this range. Bright and aromatic, with striking translucence, the 2022 is all class. Crushed flowers, mint, sweet red cherry fruit, orange peel and white pepper are some of the notes that grace this exquisite, nuanced Grenache."
