"The 2019 Grenache Eleven Confessions Vineyard is made up of 89.4% Grenache, 5.5% Syrah, 4.1% Petite Sirah and 1% Gelber Muskateller (a.k.a. Muscat Blanc Ă Petits Grains). It was crafted using 35% whole clusters, matured for around 39 months in 50% new French oak barrels and demi-muids and was bottled in January 2022. Deep ruby-purple in color, it takes significant time to open and is mostly coiled and shy on day one. On day two, its aromas unfurl: cherry pie and wild berry jam scents are layered with tones of cured meat, peppercorn, bergamot and wildflowers. The full-bodied palate is seamless and ultra powdery in texture, with balancing bursts of juicy acidity that highlight pretty spice and floral tones that fan across the long finish. It deserves generous cellar time and will be long lived. 922 cases and 240 magnums were made."

The fourth-largest wine producer in the world, led by California. American fine wine is defined by ripe, expressive fruit and a spirit of innovation, with Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon among the most sought-after wines globally.
Grenache, known as Garnacha in Spain, is a red grape that thrives in warm growing regions. Its wines often show strawberry and raspberry, with peppery spice and sometimes earthy notes. Styles range from fragrant, medium-bodied reds to rich, full-bodied wines with generous alcohol and a rounded texture, depending on the vineyard and winemaking. In France's southern Rhône Valley, Grenache is central to wines such as Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas, often blended with Syrah and Mourvèdre. It also produces distinctive single-variety wines in Spain and Australia. McLaren Vale and the Barossa Valley are particularly associated with old-vine Grenache, offering expressions that combine ripe fruit, spice and layered texture. Grenache's versatility extends beyond dry reds to rosÊ and sweet fortified wines. Vineyard conditions, crop levels and cellar choices shape its character, allowing it to deliver both fresh, approachable fruit and more concentrated, structured expressions. Its combination of generosity and adaptability makes it an important grape in both traditional regional blends and wines that showcase a single vineyard.
