Torbreck may be better known for Shiraz but this Grenache, from 70-year-old bush vines, is one of its leading lights. The color of cherry juice and perfumed with aromas of bright red berries, rhubarb, red licorice, flowers and their stems and earthy spices, this is a ripe but utterly un-candied expression of this variety. The mouthfeel is soft and silky, gripped delicately by lovely, sandy-textured tannins, the vibrant red fruit and savory spice carrying through to the long finish. This pristine wine has refreshing restraint.
