Blended with 5% Syrah and raised in 40% new oak for 14 months, the 2023 Grenache El Jabali Vineyard is one sexy Grenache that ticks all my boxes. Deep ruby-hued and almost opaque, it offers black raspberries, peppery garrigue, spring flowers, and crushed stone. Reminiscent of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape Mon Aïeul from Pierre Usseglio, it's medium to full-bodied, balanced, layered, and seamless, with ripe tannins. Drink 2025-2037.
