Other Reviews…
The 2006 Grenache Onkaparinga is the deepest colored of the Grenaches. With a complex, nearly exotic aromatic array, a velvety texture, and plenty of flavors, this is a hedonistically-styled Grenache that has enough structure to evolve for 6-8 years and provide pleasure through 2025.
