91pts Vinous

This 2022 Grenache Samuel's Collection Bush Vine is vibrant and perfumed with its layers of raspberry, dark earth and cherry pit aromas of good intensity. Generously flavored and well composed with concentration and balance, chewy tannins providing adequate grip and some aging potential.

Winemaker Notes

Bright garnet in color with great depth. This wine is fruit forward yet savoury. It starts with a complex bouquet of wildflowers, clove, sage, wild oregano and thyme with bergamot tea. With time in the glass aromas of sour cherries, mulberry and cinnamon spice emerge. This medium-bodied, juicy Grenache exhibits excellent fruit and spice, it is smooth and textural, supported by mouth-coating tannins.

This wine was made to be paired with food. Best enjoyed with a white pizza base of béchamel sauce, aged gouda cheese, bacon, mushrooms and truffle oil. Alternatively top the base with potato, sage, rosemary, and rock salt.
