WINE DESCRIPTION
This Grenache is produced by Cass Estate Vineyard, located in the Geneseo District sub-AVA, southeast of the town of Paso Robles. This region is marked by warm days and cool coastal breezes creating the ideal environment for Rhone varieties to thrive. Most of Cass Estate's vineyards are located at high elevation on a large terrace above the Huer Huero River. This Grenache is vinified to exemplify the varietal character, without heavy oak impact to create a rich, red-fruited wine with underlying spicy and herbal notes.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Cass Grenache shimmers in the glass with a vibrant red color.On the nose, this Grenache presents seductive aromas of ripe red berries, such as strawberries and raspberries, accompanied by subtle white pepper character. These aromas continue to unfold on the palate, where the wine reveals its smooth and rounded texture. The flavors of Cass Grenache are dominated by juicy red fruits, with hints of strawberry jam and ripe red plum. There is also a touch of spice, adding complexity to the overall profile.

ORIGINS
Winery: Cass
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
