"The 2008 Gruenchers is also a really lovely bottle in this vintage. The bouquet is deep, pure and vibrant, as it jumps from the glass in a blaze of cherries, strawberries, blood orange, brilliantly complex soil tones, violets, spice tones and just a touch of new wood (this was raised in two-thirds new wood this year). On the palate the wine is fullish, deep and very intensely flavored, with an excellent core, great signature of soil, impeccable balance and a very long, tangy finish that closes with fine-grained tannins and lovely minerality."
