Few varietals capture lightness and depth quite like Grenache. Our 2023 Grenache, sourced from Painted Hills Vineyard and tended by the denHoed family, reflects Washington’s ability to bring Old World charm to New World soil. Delicate yet captivating, it reveals bright layers of red currant and raspberry accented by gentle spice and earthiness. Expressive on the palate with a silky, seamless finish, this small-lot estate wine offers grace and depth in every sip — inviting those who seek something beyond the ordinary.
Aroma: Bright aromas of red currant, raspberry, and subtle spice with an undertone of earthiness
Palate: Elegant and balanced with layers of fresh berry, soft spice, and a smooth, silky texture
Finish: Refined and lingering, carrying notes of red fruit and gentle warmth
Grenache’s Rhône roots shine through in its balance of bright fruit and soft spice, making it a natural partner for dishes that highlight earthy, herbal, and roasted flavors. Enjoy it with herb-crusted lamb chops, roasted chicken with garlic and rosemary, or grilled vegetables drizzled with olive oil and sea salt. Its silky texture also complements caramelized onion tart, herbed goat cheese, or a charcuterie board with prosciutto, olives, and aged Manchego. For a cozy fall pairing, try it with ratatouille, roasted red pepper soup, or wild mushroom and lentil stew, where the wine’s red berry notes and gentle spice bring everything beautifully into balance.
