Cavaletti 2018 The 109 Mile Grenache (Los Angeles County)
Editors' Choice
An ambitious project tying disparate Los Angeles County vineyards into one bottling, this wine, which includes 4% Mourvèdre, begins with aromas of salted meats, pomegranate paste, roasted strawberry and light smoke. The palate packs the variety's typical red-fruit and gingerbread-spice flavors with hints of caramel and more smoke, lingering deep into the finish. Matt Kettmann
