The grapes for the 2008 Grenache Reserve were sourced from vineyards averaging 80 years of age. It was aged for 18 months in seasoned oak. Medium ruby-colored, it offers up an enticing nose of rose petals, spice box, black cherry, and black raspberry. Smooth and juicy on the palate, this easy-going, pleasure-bent, lengthy effort can be enjoyed over the next 6 years. The man behind La Curio, a project begun in 2003, is Adam Hooper, a member of the Redheads gang since 2006.Importer: CLD Wines, Barrington, IL; tel. (847) 898-9500
