IDLEWILD WINES Grenache Gris 'Gibson Ranch' 2013

Winemakers Sam and Jessica Bilbro source the fruit for this Grenache Gris from Gibson Ranch, located on the McDowell Valley Vineyards in Mendocino County. This Grenache Gris comes from vines over 100-years-old. It is skin and stem fermented, then aged for four months in neutral French oak. The nose is very aromatic with lots of fresh red berries, herbs, dried rose, watermelon and fresh mineral. It has great purity of fruit as well as a subtle tannic grip on the dry finish. An interesting offering for those looking to try something stylistically different. (Best 2014-2018) - July, 2014 - (MD)
