old-vine Grenache cuvee

This is a very pretty and harmonious Folatières

Impenetrable reduction overwhelms the underlying fruit today

Try after 2013

and fermentation is in foudres and barrels

Rhys, Pinot Noir San Mateo County other_regions_italy old-vine Grenache cuveeMuch more fruit loaded and rounded than the Santa Cruz Mountains release, the 2013 Pinot Noir San Mateo County comes mostly from the Family Farm vineyard, with a touch from Horseshoe. It gives up lots of strawberry, Bing cherry, spice, and floral nuances to go with beautiful fruit and texture on the palate. It's one of the most approachable Pinots in the lineup, but I suspect it will still have another 5 7 years of longevity.
