The 2003 Grenache Christine’s Vineyard reveals a cinnamon/Allspice character in its jammy black cherry-scented perfume. More elegant than its wild, kinky nose suggests, it possesses pure, medium-bodied, black cherry flavors interwoven with a notion of sweet earth. As the French might say, this distinctive Grenache comes across as sauvage (wild). Drink it over the next 3-4 years. Importer: Dan Philips, The Grateful Palate, Oxnard, CA; tel. (888) 472-5283
