Cimento Grenache 2023
One of the most distinctive Grenaches wines I’ve tasted in years, offering a hauntingly sauvage personality that immediately recalls the great wines of the Southern Rhône. Aromas of smoked game, cured prosciutto, turned earth, cocoa, cloves, dried strawberry, wild herbs, soy, and baking spice leap from the glass before yielding to an extraordinarily silky, ultra-velvety palate of remarkable richness and viscosity. Thick yet glossy in texture, it coats every corner of the mouth with layers of red fruit, earth, and garrigue, yet somehow finishes impeccably clean and fresh. This is a wine of tremendous character and authenticity: deeply savory, unforgettable, and utterly compelling for anyone who appreciates the wild, soulful side of Grenache.
