The wine is made using traditional winemaking techniques, including whole-cluster fermentation and aging in French oak barrels. The resulting wine is elegant and refined, with notes of red fruit, spice, and a hint of earthiness. It is a perfect wine for those who appreciate a well-crafted, nuanced wine.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Grenache from the SITE Larner Vineyard is an intriguing wine with a bright, ruby-red hue.On the nose, aromas of ripe cherries, raspberries, and a hint of earthy spice are accompanied by a rich, smoky note. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied with a velvety texture and flavors of blackberry, raspberry, and a touch of pepper. The moderate tannins provide a pleasant structure and the finish is long and lingering. Enjoy this Grenache with roasted meats, grilled vegetables, and a selection of mature cheeses.

ORIGINS

Winery: SITE

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.
