The Grenache comes from the Murmur Vineyard, located in the Southern area of the Santa Maria Valley near highway 101. Rob Murray, planted Rhone and Burgundian varietals in 2008 at this 213 acre ranch The grapes chosen for this wine were aged 16 months in neutral oak barrels. This terroir driven wine begins with aromas of white pepper, alongside wet stone and raspberry. There are flavors of red cherry, raspberry garrigue and provencale herbs, alongside lovely minerality. This is a polished effort that is hard to put down now. (Best 2015-2022) - November, 2015 (OB)
