Grenache The Vincent 2022

- 94 points -

The 2022 The Vincent Survivor Vine Grenache is plush and fine at once. The febrile tannins that shape the fruit are very fine—pliability and ductility are the story. It has notes of graphite, black tea, strawberry, raspberry seed, exotic spice and black cherry. This is a beauty, and it really overdelivers for the price point ($25A UD!). Twenty percent of the wine goes into old oak. It's enough to support the tannins, but not enough to feel overtly oaky. Lovely, this comes from 1906 and 1901 plantings of Grenache, on spur-pruned trellis. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
