2022 Grenache

2022 Grenache

Elephant Mountain Vineyard. Yakima Valley AVA.

You’ll find a medium ruby hue in this beautifully aromatic red wine. Notes of dried fig, ripe plum, tamarind and bourbon cherry. The texture is like a smooth, circular dance, ending with a spicy finish (pepper jelly/cayenne pepper). Aged in neutral French oak puncheons to soften the palate. 200 cases produced. $45 retail/$36 club

93 points - Great Northwest Wines Co-owner/winemaker Lee Fergestrom’s commitment to Yakima Valley vineyards continues with this well-textured Grenache from esteemed Elephant Mountain Vineyard in the Rattlesnake Hills above Fortuity Cellars. Investment in seasoned French oak puncheons allows the fruit from Joe Hattrup’s vines to shine as chalky strawberry and raspberry sauce nose join white pepper and lilac florals on the palate. The high alcohol punches through the fruit but is balanced with velvety tannins. Smoked brisket would pair well with this. It’s a wine available at their estate as well as the Fergestroms’ satellite tasting room along Third Street in Ellensburg’s historic downtown.
