Clarendon Hills - Grenache Clarendon Blewitt Springs Vineyard 2003 (750ml) Vin Doux NaturelsCritical Acclaim 95 points Wine Enthusiast Made from bushvines that are about 75 years old, this tremendous Grenache is a vibrant pink purple color and has deep peppery, fruit sweet aromas. On the palate it's massive but controlled, iike a rhinoceros behind a steel wall. Intense plum and cherry fruit warms the palate. Dry tannins persist through the long, minerally finish. Drink after 2010.

It’s so clean and delicious

a plate of cold meats and cheese could be served along with the delicious wine

A great pair would be sockeye salmon

as required during the next 8 months prior to blending and bottling

like sour cherry seasoned with pepper and herbs

Petit Rouge brings the acidity and freshness

especially those including parmesan

Elegant citrus aromas

While many old-vine vineyards contain plenty of mixed black varieties

even if a little tight in construction
