XOBC 2018 Elijah Grenache (Walla Walla Valley (WA))
This wine from music star Brandi Carlile is all Rocks District fruit, vinified by Sean Boyd (Rôtie Cellars). The aromas dazzle, with notes of peat, Satsuma orange rind, flowers, granite, peat, cigar box and strawberry. It's has a transparent, juicy style, reminiscent of a Pinot Noir. Sean P. Sullivan
