The 2012 D'Arenberg 'The Derelict Vineyard' Grenache is another gorgeous release from this estate that showcases this great vintage. As the wine develops in the glass it unveils bright aromatics rose water, raspberry cordial and black cherry with hints of Earl Grey tea. The wine has rich flavors of black cherry, Chinese black tea, and raspberry torte. This both rich and balanced wine that needs an hour in the decanter to unwind right now.
