La Marea Central Coast Grenache '20

From 60-year-old vines in Monterey County, this Grenache displays a vibrant ruby robe. The intoxicating nose bursts with kirsch, hibiscus flowers, and a distinctive note of chaparral herbs. Medium-bodied with a satin texture, the palate offers pure raspberry fruit, white pepper, and a saline minerality that Decanter (95 pts) describes as "Châteauneuf-du-Pape meets Pacific coastline." Serve slightly chilled with paella or merguez sausage. Drink now-2028.
